An under-fire hospital trust risks being fined ?44,000 for every case of infection above a nationally set maximum.
East Sussex Healthcare NHS Trust, which runs the Eastbourne District General, has been set a target of 25 cases of the Clostridium difficile infection, or CDI.
The bug is a bacterial infection.
There have already been 16 cases this year, leading to the Trust?s chief executive to urge staff to be extra vigilant.
