Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, how many people have been admitted into hospitals with Flu A in the last 14 days.

The information is not available in the format requested, as NHS England does not publish short-term counts of hospital admissions for Flu A specifically.

The UK Health Security Agency does publish the national weekly hospital admission rate for influenza hospitalisations. In the week commencing 1 December 2025, the national weekly hospital admission rate for influenza hospitalisations was 10.05 per 100,000, an increase from 8.09 per 100,000 in the previous week.
