Only 706 Islanders have been struck down by swine flu, which arrived in Jersey last June, with no one being diagnosed in almost five weeks.

The department has been praised by many for successfully protecting the Island against a major outbreak. But others have criticised the department for over-reacting and overspending on a disease which, for many, was no worse than seasonal flu.

See Thursday’s JEP for full story and background.
