Britain is dangerously unprepared for a flu pandemic that could kill as many as 315,000 people, mainly because of changes the coalition has made to the NHS, a report claims.
The NHS would struggle to cope with a catastrophic outbreak of flu, with its response seriously hampered by a host of problems related to the radical restructuring of the NHS in England, according to the Centre for Health and the Public Interest (CHPI), a health thinktank.
