Published July 2026 laboratory-reported counts, with 13 months of national observations and separate onset categories.
The source covers 134 acute trusts. A case is assigned to the laboratory reporting it; this does not necessarily identify where the infection was acquired. Trust context appears on matched organisation profiles and is excluded from our comparison table.
1,619 reported cases was reported for “C. difficile: Total cases”. Historical laboratory-reported infection count.

Published measure: C. difficile: Total cases
Historical laboratory-reported infection count. The reporting trust processes the specimen and may not be where infection was acquired. UKHSA explicitly says these unadjusted counts are not a basis for comparisons between trusts or conclusions about infection-control effectiveness. Differences in population, case mix and hospital activity are not adjusted. Total and onset categories overlap; do not add them together. Extracted 17 August 2026; figures may be revised.
