These documents describe many of the aspects of quality assurance (QA) surrounding the routine publication of data for the mandatory surveillance of HCAI (MRSA, MSSA, and Gram-negative bacteraemia and C. difficile infection).

We will review and update these statements annually, towards the end of each financial year.
