UK swine flu statistics

As Sunday is my 'day off', I'm very grateful to Celvin who has posted (below) figures for UK nationally, sorted by region. It makes for a useful and interesting read. Just the sort of information the UK government should be making easily accessible! Talking of which, Jonathan also comments at the end of this column on reliable data on deaths among pregnant women with swine flu. I quickly stumbled across these figures on Bradford NHS website but if anyone has more relevant stats please post them below.

The figures for deaths in pregnant women (as at Thursday 12 November) with which swine flu was associated (including deaths shortly after birth as well as before or during) are:

England: 6
Scotland: 2
Wales: 1
NI: 1
Total: 10
Total swine flu related deaths in the UK – 124
