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 to hospital in the last month with Flu A.

NHS England began publishing Winter Situation Reports on 24 November, meaning data on flu-specific bed occupancy is only available from this date onwards.

Between 24 November and 7 December, an average of 2,189 hospital beds were occupied by patients with flu across all acute settings, including both General and Acute and Critical Care beds.

These figures are published in the NHS England Winter Situation Reports which are available at the following link:
