MRSA and cDiff figures fall

Hurray:

There has been a fall in the number of death certificates mentioning MRSA or Clostridium difficile (C diff) as a contributory factor in why someone died, figures showed today. Data from the Office for National Statistics (ONS) showed the number of death certificates mentioning C diff fell by 29% between 2007 and 2008, to 5,931.

... ah, I see...

This is the first year that mentions on a death certificate have fallen since records began in 1999.
