The Government has been accused of fixing the outcome of public consultations on health policy.

Government 'fixing health consultations' with taxpayer-funded groups
article in the Telegraph

Extract:

"Earlier this month the Health Secretary, Alan Johnson, announced that the display of cigarettes and tobacco in shops would be banned in England and Wales from 2011.

He added that people wanting to buy cigarettes from vending machines would in future have to show proof of age to obtain a token to activate the machine, and machines could be banned altogether in the future.

Mr Johnson boasted that the display ban was favoured by an "overwhelming majority" of 96,000 responses to a six-month public consultation on the subject.

Yet only a handful of those 96,000 respondents came from individuals submitting their personal views. Almost 70,000 came from those collected by pressure groups entirely funded by the Department for Health.

Among the groups submitting block responses were SmokeFree NorthWest, SmokeFree Liverpool and SmokeFree North East, which were all set up by the Government to lobby against the tobacco industry.

The finding has prompted critics to accuse the Government of spending taxpayers' money on establishing groups designed merely to back the Government line on public health issues."

This will not surprise many people. Our Government has lied to us too much for us to trust them even to tell us the correct time.

In particular I would like to point out to any who do not already know, that the Government advice about how to reduce obesity is wrong. - Here is the truth:
