BBC News - Liverpool hospital trust cuts infection rates by 80%.
A hospital trust has been named as a centre of excellence in infection prevention after it cut cases of infection by more than 80%. In 2008, the Royal Liverpool and Broadgreen University Hospitals NHS Trust was one of the worst in terms of infection control. Following work on cleaning standards, it has reduced cases of Clostridium difficle by 80.5% and MRSA by 86%. The trust said the reduction had saved about £2.3m.
