UK operational framework for stockpiling, distributing and using antiviral medicines in the event of pandemic influenza

This framework sets out arrangements for the storage and distribution of antiviral medicines from national stockpiles and provides guidance to support the development of effective local plans for making those medicines available for the treatment of patients. It supplements the guidance contained in UK Health Departments' Influenza Pandemic Contingency Plans and should be read in conjunction with those documents.
