Pat's Note: This report is, of course, entirely consistent with the
"Gardiner Hypothesis" in that C.Diff in pig herds, as well as MRSA
constitutes a reservoir of infection regularly reinfecting hospitals
in the area over a number of routes.

Britain's pigs have been sick with circoviruses since 1999 and treated
with excessive antibiotics to keep them alive for long enough to get
them into the food chain.

The East of England is, of course, a major pig producing area.

Hospitals miss C diff targets

...The figures were revealed at a board meeting of the East of England
Strategic Health Authority (SHA). Board papers note that "Suffolk,
Cambridgeshire and Peterborough PCTs have been asked to consider and
report to the SHA on reasons for a significant variance from
trajectory"...
