Motion Text

That this House commends the British Red Cross for its support for local health and emergency response services in responding to the national swine influenza outbreak; notes that the Red Cross is relieving pressure on the ambulance service by transporting non-emergency patients and is distributing volunteers to act as flu friends delivering anti-viral medication; further notes the efficiency of the Red Cross in co-ordinating its network of support; and honours all those giving their free time to support those who are most vulnerable.
