Other Organisations
Civitas
     A hat trick of failures: How ‘the Blob’ led the British Government down the wrong
      path
   The authors recommend that Parliament and future inquiries should ask the following
   questions, inter alia:
   • Should the government have drawn upon a far wider pool of expertise than that
   offered by SAGE and the other advisory bodies?

   • Should there be a re-evaluation of the purposes, composition and objectives of the
   government’s scientific advisory groups? What line of separation should exist between
   ministers in government and the advice of the scientific committees so that there is, at
   least to some extent, some separation of political power from advice-providing
   committees?

Institute for Public Policy Research
     Prevention in the age of information: Public education for better health
      This report argues that the government must deliver a paradigm shift in prevention

      assist’. The aim of prevention policy is to drive behaviour change: to help people
