Preparing for Pandemic Influenza - Guidance to Local Planners
12 December 2007
The Cabinet Office has issued this guidance as part of our role in
providing leadership and guidance to the resilience community and in
supporting the Department of Health, as Lead Department, in preparing and
planning for a possible influenza pandemic. This guidance replaces the
Cabinet Office document 'Contingency planning for a possible influenza
pandemic (version 2 10 July 2006)'.
The primary aim of this document is to support 'A national framework
for responding to an influenza pandemic' published by the Department
for Health in November 2007, to provide local and regional planners with
additional guidance and information to support the development of local
level, multi-agency plans. This document offers guidance on the required
content of local and regional pandemic plans in the form of a checklist.
