[CdiffSupport @CdiffSupport]

Over 15,000 cases of cdiff in our CCG's. Still far too many cases. More needs to be done to reduces these numbers.

[CdiffSupport @CdiffSupport]

In spite of the fact things have improved there were still 21,383 cases of cdiff between our CCG and Acute trusts from Jan 2015 to Jan 2016
