To ask the Secretary of State for Health, if he will make a comparative assessment of the number of recorded MRSA infections in (a) Havering and (b) other districts in (i) the present and (ii) the last three years; and if he will make a statement.
To ask the Secretary of State for Health, if he will make a comparative assessment of the number of recorded MRSA infections in (a) Havering and (b) other districts in (i) the present and (ii) the last three years; and if he will make a statement.
Public Health England (PHE) is unable to provide the number of recorded Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus (MRSA) infections by borough/district.
PHE is able to provide this information by clinical commissioning groups (CCGs) and acute trusts.
Table 1 details counts/rates of total MRSA bacteraemia reported by Havering, Barking and Redbridge University hospitals trust and Table 2 lists counts/rates of MRSA bacteraemia attributed to Havering CCG over the last three financial years.
It is important to note that MRSA bacteraemia cases are reported by the acute trust whose laboratory processes the specimen and that this may not always reflect where the bacteraemia was acquired. Counts/rates for total MRSA bacteraemia reported in other CCGs and acute trusts in England is attached and can be found on the gov.uk website:
https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/mrsa-bacteraemia-annual-data
PHE is working, with partner organisations, to address antimicrobial resistance through the implementation of the ‘UK Five Year Antimicrobial Resistance Strategy’1.

Notes:
Bed days were calculated using KH03 data for the stated period. The average daily bed occupancy for the Trust quoted has been multiplied by the number of days in the time period. Rate per 100,000 bed days is calculated as follows:
Calculation of rate (per 100,000 bed days) = [Number of MRSA bacteraemia reports from the trust for the time period divided by Average daily bed occupancy multiplied by Number of days in the time period] multiplied by 100,000
NB: Included KH03 data are as of April 2015. KH03 data for January to March 2015 were not available at this time. Data for the same quarter last year (January to March 2014) has been used in FY 2014/15 bed day calculation.

Notes: CCG Populations are based upon Office for National Statistics (ONS) Mid-Year Population Estimates (2011 Census based). The relevant rate per 100,000 population was calculated as follows:
Calculation of rate (per 100,000 bed days) = [Number of MRSA bacteraemia reports from that CCG for the given time period divided by CCG level population estimate] multiplied by 100,000
NB: Included population data are as of April 2015. 2014 population estimates were not available at this time. 2013 population estimate data has been used as a proxy for the FY 2014/15 population.

The Department's National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) is jointly funding the UKCRC (UK Clinical Research Collaboration) Translational Infection Research Initiative with other UKCRC partners. Under this initiative, two consortia are studying the use of genome sequencing in infection control.
The Modernising Medical Microbiology Consortium aims to exploit recent advances in sequencing the genomes of bacterial and viral pathogens of public health concern, to improve and speed up their classification and identification. The NIHR Oxford Biomedical Research Centre is a partner in the consortium. The work of the consortium includes a study, hosted by the NIHR Clinical Research Network, establishing how new strain typing and database technologies can be optimally integrated into microbiology service and research—to track and identify outbreaks in Staphylococcus aureus and other pathogens.
The Cambridge Translational Microbiology Consortium aims to bring rapid microbial genome sequencing into the heart of the diagnostic microbiology laboratory, and has an initial focus on Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA).
In addition, the NIHR Centre for Health Protection Research has a current project on development of a whole genome sequence-based tool to track MRSA transmission in the United Kingdom.

The information is not available in the format requested. Information is only held by trust and is only available from April 2008. Queen's Hospital Romford opened in 2006 and is part of Barking, Havering and Redbridge University Hospitals NHS Trust (BHRT).
The numbers of Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) bacteraemia episodes reported at BHRT for the years available is collected by financial year and is shown in the following table:
