The board will be told that there was progress in potentially using the antibiotic Fidaxomicin as first-line treatment of C. diff, which would reduce the risk of onward transmission to others.

SaTH said 33 cases of C. diff were likely to have been caused by inappropriately prescribed antibiotics.

An action plan is also being drawn up to reduce MRSA, MSSA, E.coli, pseudomonas and klebsiella.

There are also plans in development for a deep clean in 2026-27.

The report also investigates Covid and flu incidents.

There was one confirmed case of measles at the Princess Royal Hospital in Telford in January 2026, but it involved a child who was too young to be vaccinated, it said.

No further cases were identified.

It added that an issue with staff immunity data was also identified and work was in progress to “allow controlled access of immunity data.”
