Swine flu deaths increase to 32

Priority groups are being identified as part of a vaccination programme

An adult has died from swine flu in the Ayrshire and Arran health board area.

The patient had a significant underlying health condition. The death brings the total number of H1N1-related deaths in Scotland to 32.

Health Secretary Nicola Sturgeon said: "H1N1 is mild and symptoms shouldn't persist longer than a week.

"Some people are at greater risk of influenza complications and that is why priority groups have been identified as part of the vaccination programme."
