This addendum to Health Technical Memorandum 04-01 builds on and supersedes March 2012 guidance published by the Department of Health on control of P. aeruginosa. This document is concerned with controlling/minimising the risk of morbidity and mortality due to P. aeruginosa associated with water outlets and provides guidance on: assessing the risk to patients when water systems become contaminated with P. aeruginosa or other opportunistic pathogens; remedial actions to take when a water system becomes contaminated with P. aeruginosa; protocols for sampling, testing and monitoring water for P. aeruginosa; and forming a Water Safety Group (WSG) and developing water safety plans (WSPs).
