THE handling of the deadly C-diff outbreaks will be discussed in public for the first time by the West Kent Primary Care Trust (PCT) this week.

The board meeting will hear what has been done to combat infections taken by the Maidstone and Tunbridge Wells NHS Trust since the Healthcare Commission published its report into the outbreaks which claimed the lives of about 90 people.

The meeting will be held at the River Centre, in Medway Wharf Road, Tonbridge, from 2pm on Thursday and is open to the public.
