We understand that many patients are concerned about hospital acquired infections such as MRSA and C-difficile (C.diff) when they come into hospital.
At Warrington and Halton hospitals, infection control is one of our key priorities and the numbers of infections at our hospitals has reduced by over 90% in the last three years. Last year we had the lowest rate of infections per hospital bed day amongst hospital of our kind in the North West region.
We publish our infection figures each month at our trust board meeting.
