The Tyne Bridge Newcastle

Government Office for the North East

Representing central government across North East England

We represent 12 central government departments across the region and are based in the centre of Newcastle in Citygate.

Swine flu
Our Regional Resilience Team, along with the Health Protection Agency, NHS North East and our local resilience forums have been involved in coordinating the region’s response to the current swine flu outbreak. The team coordinates and provides daily situation reports to Cabinet Office. More information on the outbreak can be found on the Department of Health and the Health Protection Agency websites. There is also a swine flu information line 0800 151 3513 for advice, as well as the Pandemic Flu website.

We work to deliver, influence and develop government programmes and initiatives at a regional and local level, by working in partnership with relevant organisations to meet local needs. With your help our site will continue to expand and improve. Please forward any suggestions for content or comments via email to web@gone.gsi.gov.uk
