Panorama Investigation - Clostridium Difficile

After 10 years of Labour saying that they are the party of healthcare, we should have a situation where hospitals are clean and safe. Instead, we have persistent problems with people going into hospital, and whilst there, catching MRSA and c.diff.

Panorama, in their programme tonight, looks at the rise of clostridium difficile in UK hospitals.

Professor Richard James, who runs a leading centre in Nottingham University to investigate hospital infections, is quoted as saying: "The figures for c.difficile show that more than 50 per cent of hospital trusts in the UK have a rate of infection that's more than 10 times that of any other country."

You can look at the hospital by hospital results here (PDF file). Page 30 is where you'll find University Hospital here in Coventry. The survey reveals that all of their wards will not be deep cleaned by March 2008. Only 40% will have been completely deep cleaned.

The final question in the survey, how a hospital defines an "outbreak" of c.diff, wildly varies. Literally, each hospital's definition is different. If every hospital decides what an outbreak is, you can't have a meaningful comparison of which 10% of hospitals have the most outbreaks nationwide!
