	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/04/2024 answer text <p>As described in the answer of 14 March 2022 to Question 133232, progress towards the target of halving healthcare-associated Gram-negative bloodstream infections (GNBSI) has proved very challenging, in part due to the diverse nature of the underlying causes of these infections.

However, overall, the total incidence of healthcare associated GNBSI remains significantly above the target.</p><p>We are currently developing the 2024 to 2029 antimicrobial resistance national action plan. We anticipate that in the delivery of this plan, we will continue to focus on GNBSI, building on lessons learnt over the past five years.</p> answering member constituency Lewes answering member printed Maria Caulfield question first answered 23/04/2024 15:47:27 answering member 4492 label Biography information for Maria Caulfield
