Tripartite authorities issue pandemic flu update

The UK’s Tripartite financial authorities have issued a statement concerning an expected increase in H1N1 flu outbreaks this autumn and winter.

The statement reads as follows:

“The Tripartite Authorities are continuing to closely monitor the current swine flu outbreak. The FSA and Bank of England are liaising with the sector and HM Treasury receives regular advice and updates from relevant Government bodies. A cross-market swine flu group has been formed to provide a forum for representative business continuity practitioners from across the financial sector to respond to the outbreak and to prepare for the 2009 autumn/winter season, when the impact severity of the virus is expected to increase.”
