Gavin.

This particular paragraph caught my eye. It's me old mate Sir Liam
Donaldson, a man knighted by the Labour Party in 2002 I beleive. He has been
in a pivotal position in the NHS all through the MRSA situation and he
recently surfaced with the revised Heatwave Contingency planning

"Other climate-related health scares have collapsed under close scrutiny. In
2002, Professor Sir Liam Donaldson, the Chief Medical Officer, added his
voice to claims that Britain could be facing the return of malaria.

A subsequent analysis by experts at the London School of Hygiene and
Tropical Medicine concluded that changes in land use and socio-economic
trends made the risk "highly unlikely". Oddly, the lifting of this
eco-threat was not widely reported. "

Further to the return of Malaria to England,. I've always been under the
understanding that mosquito carrying malaria disappeared when areas like the
Fenlands were drained and stagnant water engineered away. So another
headline unresearched diatribe from a govnment scientific advisor. What next
John Prescott the Astronomer Royal?
