Background

Ensure that the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) monitors, and reports on, the numbers of COVID infections that occur in healthcare settings through its routine surveillance programmes, and advises on how to prevent and control infection in establishments such as hospitals, care homes and schools.

Additional details

We think the government needs to ensure the relevant policy on the management of healthcare associated infections (HCAI) is extended to include the recording of data on covid infections spread within hospitals.
