Figure 1 shows the date of admission in patients hospitalised with confirmed influenza. The x axis commences on 30 March, 2014 and shows a slow increase in case numbers until 6 July, then a faster increase in case numbers until 10 August. Case numbers then start to decline from 24 August until the final reporting week on 26 October. The majority of infections are with influenza A; and of the minority where a subtype was available, there were similar proportions due to A/H1N1pdm09 and A/H3N2.
