Clostridium Difficile Infection Statistics

The request was successful.

Dear The Newcastle Upon Tyne Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust,

I am currently investigating incidences and targets set for Clostridium difficile infections by acute trusts and PCOs.
Under the Freedom Of Information Act 2000 please can you provide me with the below information;
• The Clostridium difficile infection Targets for your trust set for FY10-11 (April2010-March2011), FY11-12 (April2011-March 2012) and FY12-13 (April 2012-March2013)
• What are the implications for your trust if this target is not met? Is there a specific fine or structure of penalty?
Many Thanks

Kind Regards
