MRSA
- Question
- To ask the Secretary of State for Health what recent assessment she has made of a possible link between MRSA rates in a given Trust and its percentage bed occupancy.
- Answer
-
The Department is working on an internal desk analysis of hospital organisation specialty mix and meticillin resistant staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). This indicates a statistical correlation, but bed occupancy is only one of the factors that influences infection rates. The Department acknowledges the importance of assessing the impact of initiatives on the incidence of MRSA and hopes to publish the report shortly.
