I have read the opening statements and have some questions. Last year, 13,300 patients in the acute hospital system had sepsis, of whom approximately 2,700 died. Are there regional variances in that? Are there certain hospital groups in which there are peaks and troughs in those figures? I do not like to describe loss of life in that way but are there higher incidences in certain parts of the country?
