Health Secretary Matt Hancock has confirmed Public Health England will be replaced by a new body focused on preparing for external threats like pandemics.

Baroness Dido Harding, who runs NHS Test and Trace in England, will be the interim chief of the new National Institute for Health Protection (NIHP).

PHE has come under intense scrutiny of its coronavirus response.

Ministers have been accused of using PHE as a scapegoat for failings.

Government has been criticised for the controversial decision in March to halt community testing and tracing of contacts.

The new institute will begin work with immediate effect and will bring together Public Health England and NHS Test and Trace, as well as the analytical capability of the Joint Biosecurity Centre under a single leadership team, to "strengthen" public health.


However you dress up an orgnanisation  - at the tax-payers' expense?  Again ? 

[Ollie Wombles]

What? Why on earth spend all that money rebranding, just add another layer of bureaucracy!

[Sparrow]

Oh I don't know.

We could re brand the government as ' The Muppets'.

 . that is in insult to The Muppets 

Apparently they are going to follow the German protocols ......... I would get rid of  any1 quoting 'experts' and let those involved with research speak directly to the public.
