With the Tories claim that Matron will get hospitals clean (I assume she will solve that pesky problem of viruses evolving with a firm frown and a jolly good ticking off), it got me thinking this is a little deja-vu.

Didn’t they bring them back already?

And why hasn’t Milburn said anything, when he was the one that [brought her back](http://society.guardian.co.uk/NHSstaff/story/0,7991,468546,00.html)?

Unless the Tories mean they are going to clone Hattie Jacques and place one of her in every Hospital?
