This report covers voluntary reports of Clostridium difficile positive faecal samples made to the HPA for 2008 for all ages from laboratories in England, Wales, and Northern Ireland. Age specific rates of C. difficile were calculated using Office of National Statistics 2008 mid-year resident population estimates as denominators. Data were analysed and displayed according to current regional boundaries.
