There is a "catastrophic threat" of "untreatable" diseases, she said, which promise to return us to a "19th century" state of affairs. Dame Sally has form: she warned the House of Commons Health Select Committee about the same problem in similarly stringent terms back in January - a case not so much of apocalypse now, as apocalypse again.
