Answer

It is not possible for anybody to indicate where a person
contracted MRSA.

Please indicate the number of deaths attributable to MRSA in the
last 5 years

Because death certificates contain one or more causes of death it is not
possible to provide this information. The Trust does review all causes
of death and any death attributable to MRSA in anyway is reviewed.
