So who are those warnings for?
See John Hall's earlier post. You're best off asking the NHS that
question, rather than the MO.

Ah but it is a real good earner for the MetO. Health is big business
not just the warnings you see but private contracts too and MetO
sales and business staff are *very* enthusiastic as it brings the dosh
in regardless of what other people think of it. It's all about money
nowadays in the MetO.

I don't have any problem with the MetO doing that in the case of the
NHS. After all, I don't have to read the warnings. And I imagine that,
were the MetO to refuse the NHS, they might be forcibly reminded by
central government that they are a government agency, and that there are
certain obligations that they are expected to fulfil as part of that
status if they want to be allowed to retain a measure of independence.
