There is no source of official public health advice which is not contaminated by its status within Government or local government. National and regional public health advisers are civil servants whilst Directors of Public Health and their supporting consultants are perceived by local government as merely officers of the authority and are often compelled to live down to that expectation. As we saw during the pandemic this makes it harder for the people to accept scientific advice.
