THE number of suspected swine flu cases in Bolton is continuing to fall.

NHS Bolton’s anti-viral collection centre gave out medication for 172 people in the seven days up to Sunday.

This compares to 213 prescriptions the week before and means the figure has dropped five weeks in a row. The number of people receiving anti-virals peaked at 2,285 in mid-July.
