摘要

Confirmed cases of Clostridium difficile in all individuals aged over two years are to be published in Wales from September.Previously,only data on those aged 65 years and over were published but this will now change in line with England,which has been publishing the data on all over-twos from April 2007.To improve consistency,the Welsh Assembly is also bringing in a new protocol for testing for the infection.
