From: Stephen Booth

Dear Sir or Madam,

pursuant to the Freedom of Information Act please provide the
following information:

* How many NHS hospitals are there in the UK as a whole?

* How many NHS hospitals have reported cases of hospital acquired
infection in the last 2 years for which figures are available?

* What proportion of all NHS hospitals use private sector cleaning
services, what proportion of all NHS hospitals use inhouse
(non-private sector) cleaning services? If any, what other forms of
cleaning service are used in the NHS and what proportion of all NHS
hospitals use them?

* As previous question but replace 'all NHS hospitals' with 'NHS
hospitals that have reported hospital acquired infections in the
last 2 years for which figures are available'.

Thank you

Yours faithfully,

Stephen Booth
