Swine flu claims more lives

TWO more people have died from swine flu in Greater Manchester.

A woman from Bury who died at Rochdale Infirmary was said to have underlying health problems.

Tests on a man, also from Bury, who died around two weeks ago, have now revealed he died from swine flu.

Two men from Oldham died at the Royal Oldham Hospital earlier this month.

Both hospitals are run by Pennine Acute Trust, which has hospitals in Oldham, Rochdale, Bury and North Manchester.

No details have been given about any of the victims by health bosses on the grounds of patient confidentiality.

The number of people who have died from swine flu across Greater Manchester is thought to be seven, but no official overall figure has been released.
