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 July and the Board is
keen to hear your thoughts.
