I think Lawrence is asking why they should be issued at all? And
the answer is that they are a good money earner paid for by
money out of the government's health budget. I am obliged not to
say here how much the warning system and other health forecasts
cost but one could indeed ask the question are they worth it when
the NHS is short of beds, nurses and cleaners?

Are you saying that all the warnings, not just the cold weather ones,
are paid for by the NHS?

No. The thread is about the cold weather alerts.
