David Flory’s first quarterly report of 2009/10 on NHS finance and service performance, shows that the NHS has started 2009/10 well, building on last year’s success.
The latest data on the reduction of healthcare associated infections (HCAIs) show that the risk of infection with MRSA bacteraemia or C. difficile is at its lowest for five years. Most hospitals are already achieving the 2010 target levels for reducing C. difficile infections by 30 percent against the 2007/08 baseline, having achieved a national reduction of 35 percent over the last financial year. The NHS has sustained operational standards on 18 weeks and has improved access to primary care services by further increasing the number of GP practices offering extended opening hours.
