A Scottish government minister criticised the way information was released about a new strain of the infection clostridium difficile.
Michael Matheson said Health Protection Scotland (HPS) "could have been more proactive".
It was revealed last week that three hospital patients died after contracting ribotype 332.
HPS did not disclose the name of the hospitals, or NHS board, due to patient confidentiality.
