Mr. Burstow: To ask the Secretary of State for Health how many MRSA incidents have been (a) voluntarily and (b) mandatorily reported in each NHS region since 1996 (i) in total and (ii) as a ratio to the population in that region. [72149] Ms Blears [holding answer 23 July 2002]: We are unable to supply these data as information on incidents which are defined as three or more patients with the same strain in the same hospital in one calendar month is no longer compiled. The following table shows the number of bacteraemia reports per 100,000 head of population for each region. Data for the voluntary reporting system are available from 1996 but are known to be incomplete. Mandatory reporting was introduced in April 2001 and the first year's data are provided.

[71842] Ms Blears: The mandatory reporting of methicillin resistant staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) bacteraemias by National Health Service acute trusts began in April 2001 and these data are published in the communicable disease report weekly. The first year's data are now available and these form a benchmark for future analysis.

Paul Flynn: To ask the Secretary of State for Health what were the percentage changes in the incidence of Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus in (a) the NHS and (b) the private sector in each of the past five years. [54015] Yvette Cooper: The mandatory reporting of Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus (MRSA) bacteraemias by national health service acute trusts began in April 2001. The system does not cover private hospitals. The data are published quarterly in the CDR Weekly. The data collected so far can be used as baselines only and do not indicate trends. Microbiology laboratories in England and Wales have been voluntarily reporting MRSA bacteraemias to the Public Health Laboratory Service (PHLS) for many years. Provisional quarterly data are published in the CDR Weekly. Corrected annual data have been published recently in the 1999-2000 Review of Communicable Disease. Some private microbiology laboratories report some infections to the PHLS, but these are a very small proportion of reports received. Data from a voluntary system are shown as follows: Laboratory reports of staphylococcus aureus isolated from blood and their susceptibility to methicillin: England and Wales, annual totals 1997-2001 _________________________________________________________________________________________________.
