Lansley accused of U-turn over flu ad as 39 dead

BRITISH Health Secretary Andrew Lansley was yesterday accused of a U-turn after announcing the relaunch of a flu-busting ad campaign — as 39 people were confirmed dead from the virus.

The Government previously came in for criticism after Labour accused it of deciding to ditch the Catch it, Bin it, Kill it campaign.

As the Health Protection Agency confirmed 12 more flu deaths this week — taking the toll to 39 since October — Mr Lansley said the advertisement would be relaunched on Saturday.
