Petition Action

Direct the UKHSA to monitor COVID infections that occur in particular settings.

Petition Details

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 Information

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.

To quote the UKHSA, 'preventing and reducing rates of HCAI involves infection prevention and control, using evidence-based interventions.'

'Surveillance programmes are an important part of this, as they provide essential information on:
- what and where the problems are
- how well control measures are working.'
