To ask the Scottish Executive whether it will collect and publish statistics on the number of hospital-acquired E. coli deaths.
Answer
The medical certificate of the cause of death, which is the information source for General Register Office for Scotland (GROS) statistics, describes the diseases or conditions leading or contributing to death. It does not detail whether the disease or condition was hospital acquired. On that basis, GROS has confirmed it cannot distinguish between deaths from hospital acquired E. coli and deaths from E. coli that was acquired elsewhere, in order to collect and publish such statistics.
