Good Morning Britain features Club Mac sickness outbreaks

Following this mornings episode of Good Morning Britain, we can confirm that we are now acting for over 50 holidaymakers who fell ill at Club Mac Alcudia, many of whom suffered symptoms including vomiting, stomach cramps and diarrhoea during their stay

Emma Watkins, a client of Your Holiday Claims, featured on Good Morning Britain after being invited onto the show to discuss the circumstances of her young daughter, Faye Briggs, who was hospitalised during their stay.

We have been receiving enquiries from holidaymakers since May 2014. During this time, a number of family holidays have been ruined by sickness. Children have been hospitalised requiring medical treatment through intravenous drips.

Many holidaymakers have reported being served food which was undercooked and also re-served across various meals. Others have stated that the standard of cleanliness at the hotel was poor, especially around pool areas.

Anne Thomson, Head of Travel Law at Your Holiday Claims, comments: “I do hope that any measures taken by the hotel to stop the spread of infection are being implemented thoroughly and, importantly, maintained so as to ensure that illness does not continue to be a problem.”

“Whether the illnesses suffered by holidaymakers over the past months have been viral or bacterial in origin, the fact is that contaminated food or water and infected surfaces or material can spread the infections.  What this means is that if food handling, food storage and food preparation are not carried out correctly or if there are breakdowns in hygiene practices, cases of illness will in all probability continue.”

“My clients are understandably very unhappy with the fact that their long awaited and hard earned holidays have been spoilt and, in some instances, ruined by the illnesses they suffered.  I hope that the various tour operators involved will deal with the claims quickly and fairly”.
