UK Resilience
The National Framework is aimed at guiding and supporting integrated contingency planning and preparations for pandemic influenza in health and social care organisations and more widely across government and public and private sector organisations. It provides detailed information on the likely impact of an influenza pandemic and sets out some of the key assumptions for use in response planning.
Additionally, it describes the Governments strategic approach to responding to a pandemic and the arrangements within which organisations responsible for planning, delivering or supporting local responses should develop and maintain integrated operational arrangements.
The National Framework builds upon and supersedes the UK health departments' UK Influenza Pandemic Contingency Plan, published in October 2005, expanding it to cover a more comprehensive range of impacts and responses.
We understand that public confidence in the Government's pandemic strategy depends on it being based on a credible and wide-ranging evidence base, which has been objectively analysed. This paper summarises this work.
