Galloway only Scottish region without swine 'flu
NHS DUMFRIES and Galloway is now the only health board in mainland Scotland without a confirmed case of swine 'flu.

Health board chiefs are maintaining that Galloway will not avoid the virus as 850 have now been confirmed in Scotland since the outbreak.
Experts are working on a vaccination which is expected to be delivered to the public in October.
