The National Quality
Board are asking for views on their proposals for a
Objective for MRSA. The Objective will aim to set a locally
applicable standard for MRSA performance that focuses on
poor performance. The proposals set out a rate based measure
applicable to both acute trusts and primary care trusts at
challenging levels.
The new Objective will be
published in the 2010/11 Operating Framework, and the Board
will make their recommendation to Ministers later in the
year. The engagement document is available online with a
deadline for responses of 24 of July and the Board is keen
to hear your thoughts.
