Many people concerned about swine flu have turned to NHS Direct for help, but the telephone helpline which is supposed to take the pressure off doctors is now trying to take the pressure off itself. The service, set up in 1997, has long been a target for criticism from doctors who have attacked what they see as its over-cautiousness. Designed to take the strain off frontline staff, some claim it has increased workloads in the past by referring the perfectly healthy to out-of-hour doctors or A&E. But many value its reassurance and advice and have turned to it in droves since swine flu was first reported. On Tuesday it received more than 9,000 calls relating to the virus – the highest yet.
