	The Sun Online - News: Hospital superbug rap
		HOSPITAL bosses have been slammed for their handling of an outbreak of a superbug which killed at least 33 people.
		Stoke Mandeville Hospital failed to control an outbreak of Clostridium Difficile last year because bosses were more worried about Government targets on casualty waiting times, a new report says.
		The hospital had not learnt lessons from a previous outbreak of the superbug at the hospital between October 2003 and June 2004, the Healthcare Commission said.

		The commission has also said these problems are not confined to Stoke Mandeville Hospital and all hospitals should urgently review their procedures for infection control.

	Hospital chiefs accused over bug outbreak which killed 33 \| 24dash.com - Health
		Patients with diarrhoea were kept in or put on open wards rather than isolation wards and a shortage of nurses "probably contributed to the spread of infection" because staff were "too rushed to take basic precautions such as washing their hands, wearing aprons and gloves consistently, emptying commodes promptly and cleaning mattresses and equipment properly".
		The report said the hospital Infection Control Team asked for a dedicated area in which to care for affected patients during the first outbreak "but none was available".
		It is a tragedy for the families, for the hospital and for the NHS as a whole.
