For the years 2014, 2015, and 2016 please details the following:
How many people and inpatients have been infected with and treated for a superbug.
List which superbug people were infected with.
In which hospital did they contract the infection?
How many of these people later died of the infection?
Please see below. We do not have a definition of superbugs so have provided MRSA bacteraemia, VRE bacteraemia and CPE. However, we have only collected patient data relating to VRE since 2016.
The data refers to inpatients. None of the patients died of the infections.
The data is reported for calendar years rather than financial year so the figures may differ slightly from those publically reported.
