NHSD is for people who need adviceNPFS is for people who are ill and want tamiflu/relenza and instructions about the flu
GPs are there for clinical decisions.
If a pregnant woman calls the flu line and passes the criteria they'll be offered relenza, told how to collect it and then will be asked to ring their gp to discuss things before they take it.

They're trying to get everyone to go through the NPFLwhich they expect would be the last thing 60-75% of people will need. If that happens that will give the gp's enough breathing space.
Both the Antivirals work best in the first 48 hours of symptoms. In some parts of the country it can take you that long to just speak to your GP so flu line is quicker.
