NO MORE PROBES INTO C DIFFICILE AT JOSEPH BRANT

ONTARIO'S HEALTH MINISTER SAYS THERE WON'T BE ANY MORE INVESTIGATIONS INTO A LENGTHY SUPERBURG OUTBREAK AT BURLINGTON'S JOSEPH BRANT HOSPITAL.

62 PATIENTS DIED FROM C DIFFICILE, IN AN OUTBREAK THAT INFECTED 115 OTHERS OVER 20 MONTHS.

DISEASE EXPERTS SAY ONTARIO HAD YEARS OF WARNINGS ABOUT THE RISKS OF UNCONTROLLED INFECTIONS, YET FAILED TO ACT.

GEORGE SMITHERMAN SAYS REPORTING OF SUPERBURG INFECTIONS WILL BE MADE MANDATORY.

BUT EXPERTS SAY THEY SHOULD HAVE DONE IT LONG BEFORE NOW.
