The National Pandemic Flu Service has closed down after a drop
in cases.
Following recent low levels of swine flu in the community, the
Department of Health advised that the National Pandemic Flu
Service, launched to allow people to be assessed if they thought
they had swine flu symptoms, has closed down as at 1am on Thursday,

If you have flu-like symptoms stay at home and phone your GP
practice for an assessment.
You will still be able to send a friend to pick up Tamiflu from
anti viral collection points.

messages, will continue to operate on 0800 1 513 513.
