<p>Public Health England (PHE) is unable to provide the number of recorded Methicillin
Resistant <em>Staphylococcus Aureus</em> (MRSA) infections by borough/district.</p><br
/><p>PHE is able to provide this information by clinical commissioning groups (CCGs)
and acute trusts.</p><br /><p>Table 1 details counts/rates of total MRSA bacteraemia
reported by Havering, Barking and Redbridge University hospitals trust and Table 2
lists counts/rates of MRSA bacteraemia attributed to Havering CCG over the last three
financial years.</p><br /><p>It is important to note that MRSA bacteraemia cases are
reported by the acute trust whose laboratory processes the specimen and that this
may not always reflect where the bacteraemia was acquired. Counts/rates for total
MRSA bacteraemia reported in other CCGs and acute trusts in England is attached and
can be found on the gov.uk website:</p><br /><p><a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/mrsa-bacteraemia-annual-data"

/><p>PHE is working, with partner organisations, to address antimicrobial resistance
through the implementation of the ‘UK Five Year Antimicrobial Resistance Strategy’<sup>1</sup>.</p><br
