THE director of public health has thanked health colleagues as flu numbers drop.
This year’s seasonal influenza virus appears to be on the wane this month after a difficult winter, according to Wiltshire’s health professionals.
Maggie Rae, director of public health for Wiltshire, said: “I would like to give my thanks to the GPs, hospital doctors, nurses, pharmacists and NHS Wiltshire’s Primary Care Team who have done a tremendous job this winter.
“Thanks to their efforts, along with appropriate self-treatment and use of services by local people, we have managed very well.”
