England’s Health Secretary Wes Streeting has said he is "extremely worried" about rising numbers of flu patients in hospitals and forthcoming strikes by resident doctors in England next week.
Speaking to LBC, Streeting said the current situation was "probably the worst pressure the NHS has faced since Covid".
Flu has come early this winter and it looks to be a particularly nasty season because of a new mutated version of the virus which is circulating, say experts. Many are now calling it "super flu", but it is not more severe or harder to treat.
A five-day strike by resident doctors in England, the new name for junior doctors, is set to begin on 17 December, but there are hopes it could be called off. The doctors’ union, the British Medical Association, has agreed to poll its members to see if they are willing to call off the walkout.
