Hospital chiefs rapped over bug outbreaks in UK
LONDON - Health chiefs made serious mistakes during two outbreaks of a stomach bug which killed at least 33 hospital patients, an official report found on Monday.
Dirty wards, staff shortages and poor planning allowed the infection to spread at the Stoke Mandeville Hospital, Buckinghamshire, according to the Healthcare Commission, an NHS watchdog. Hospital managers put NHS targets above patients' welfare, the report added.
"The leadership of the trust compromised the safety of patients by failing to make the right decisions," the Commission's Chief Executive Anna Walker said in a statement. "They rejected the proper advice of their own experts."
More than 300 patients contracted the clostridium difficile stomach bug at the hospital in the outbreaks between October 2003 and June 2005. The bug causes severe diarrhoea and can be fatal, particularly for elderly patients.
The commission blamed the spread of the bug on the failure to isolate infected patients.
Hospital bosses had cut the number of single rooms that could have been used to keep those infected away from other patients.
Staff were "too rushed to answer call bells or change soiled sheets" and failed to take "basic precautions such as washing their hands, donning aprons and gloves consistently or even properly cleaning mattresses and equipment".
Health Minister Andy Burnham said its medical advisers would study the report's recommendations.
What happened at Stoke Mandeville is inexcusable and must not be allowed to happen again," he said.
Buckinghamshire Hospitals NHS Trust acting Chief Executive Alan Bedford, who replaced the former head Ruth Harrison, said the hospital had tightened its procedures.
"We are determined to learn everything we can from the report," he said. "The death of any patient from a hospital-acquired infection is a cause of deep concern and regret."
Infection rates for the stomach bug fell 80 percent in the first six months of 2006, compared to the same period last year, he added.
The number of patients infected by the stomach bug across England rose by 17.2 percent to more than 51,000 in 2005, the Health Protection Agency said on Monday.
