News Release

25th July 2009

NO ANTI-VIRALS IN LICHFIELD OR BURNTWOOD

In a letter to Michael Fabricant dated 24th July, Secretary of State for Health, Andy Burnham, has listed the confidential locations for anti-viral collection points for treatment of swine flu. "But neither Lichfield nor Burntwood are listed as locations" says Michael Fabricant. "Instead, my constituents will have to travel to Tamworth, Stafford, Rugeley, or Burton to collect Tamiflu or other anti-virals to combat swine flu. This is a serious omission. I shall be asking the South Staffordshire Primary Care Trust to provide collection points (ACPs) in both Lichfield and Burntwood.

"Existing locations include supermarkets, chemists, and other major stores. There is no excuse for omitting Lichfield and Burntwood which are major population centres" Michael adds.
