LONDON   “Doctors across the country believe patients are dying because of blunders by staff at swine flu call centres.

“Serious illnesses such as meningitis, tonsillitis and pneumonia had been missed by the untrained staff, they said.

“Thirty-seven per cent of GPs told researchers they have had to pick up the pieces of treating those wrongly told by operators they had swine flu.” (Emphasis added)

…”The research by Pulse magazine revealed that 91 per cent of GPs believe Tamiflu should no longer be given to everyone with swine flu symptoms for fear this could lead to the virus developing resistance.

“The survey also underlines growing concern over the effectiveness of the National Pandemic Flu Service hotline.”
