No MRSA superbugs
Published at 11:12, Thursday, 17 May 2012
THERE have been no incidents of MRSA superbug at West Cumberland Hospital or Cumberland Infirmary for 23 months now.
As a result of the good figures, the North Cumbria University Hospitals Trust has now been set a target of zero for 2012/13, against last year’s target of no more than four cases. The trust also kept within its figures for cases of C-Difficile in 2011/12 with 53 cases in total against a target of no more than 69.
This, the trust board heard on Tuesday, was down to the “excellent work” by the staff.
This year’s target for C-Difficile is to have no more than 40 cases.
