According to the N.I.C.E website, they are proposing to add to their role of judgement on drugs the role of changing our habits. In other words in addition to deciding which drugs we may have, and how long we may live, they are now going to change our life-styles.
We can only assume that "auntie" G. Brown and his friends have decided on this, as there are resource implications, and NICE is one of their poodle quangos. Clearly they do not trust parents to inculcate good habits, and schools are not up to it (- sorry, Jamie Oliver), so it now means that a bunch of scientists are going to develop programes for instructors, and for us, "taking into account the local and national context", whatever that means.
The earlier posting was that planning is to become centralised. It seems that this is to be reinforced by this centralised initiative to affect us at a very personal level. We seem to be encountering the onset of totalitarianism!

Why does the government not realise that top-down policies from the centre usually don't work. It's another gimmick!
