Figures for 2009 flu sourced from documents at HPA Weekly epidemiological updates archive [1] archive copy at the Wayback Machine and figures for 2008 flu estimated from inspection of Fig 2 at web-page for HPA's Weekly pandemic flu update for 16th July 2009 [2].

This graph was created with the following Python/Matplotlib script:

#!/usr/bin/env python
from pylab import *
flu08=[8, 6, 4, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 2, 3, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2,
  3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 7, 7, 6, 9, 10, 11, 14, 19, 29, 43, 26, 22]
flu09=[3.1, 8.4, 9.8, 8.6, 6.5, 4.2, 4.4, 5.8, 8.9, 17.4, 30.4, 86.8, 221.4,
  225.7, 72.2, 48.3, 30.8, 19.3, 14.4, 10.9, 14.5, 17.3, 25.0, 29.6, 32.0,
  37.4, 49.2, 48.5, 47.2, 48.4, 50.5, 44.9, 38.6, 33.8, 29.3, 16.4, 13.3]
rc('axes',lw=2.0)
plot(range(17,17+len(flu08)), flu08, 'bD-', lw=3.0, label='2008')
plot(range(17,17+len(flu09)), flu09, 'rD-', lw=3.0, label='2009')
xticks( array(range(0,9))*4.4+17.7,
  ['May','Jun','Jul','Aug','Sep','Oct','Nov','Dec'],size=18,ha='left')
yticks(size=18)
grid(lw=0.75)
ylabel('Weekly consultations (per 100,000)',size=18)
