Again, I didn't say they provide advice to me, I said I don't follow the opinions of the bodies involved, meaning the bodies that advise the NHS.
But there is nothing for you to follow! That is the point.
I have been brought up to believe that you can indeed and should question anything you are unsure about and not always just take it as gospel that because it comes from experts, its the correct information.
You aren't questioning it though. You have stated many times that you think they are wrong but it is clear that you haven't got any evidence on which to base that decision. If I wished to question something because it was important to me, I would actually read the research evidence to form an opinion and I listen to the opinion of experts in the field. If I haven't got the time (or sometimes interest) then I will look at guidelines from expert committees.
If you actually read my posts that is exactly what I was trying to do, I was searching for studies, papers or stats in what has set the age rather than just the government website. I was well aware of the website and what that stated but it didn't give me the background detail I was interested in.
So where did you actually search for papers? As I said, this would involve more than a quick look on google. The people who assess the evidence have many many years of training and they would spend months searching for the evidence and reading the research papers before giving recommendations. There is no way you have done that and yet you have just decided they are wrong.
As for the website not giving you the background information you need, as I said you can ask them for it.
By the way, a government website may have published the recommendations but the committee that made the recommendations are not part of the government or NHS.
That's is exactly what I was trying to do
As I said, where were you looking? Have you asked the UKNSC for the evidence they have used as it will be publically available. This is what the screening committee do:
www.gov.uk/government/publications/uk-nsc-evidence-review-process/uk-nsc-evidence-review-process#uk-nsc-evidence-summaries
To find the literature they will look at various databases such as medline and will spend months assessing and reading the literature.
There is no way you have done anywhere near that and I doubt you have got the expertise to do it even if you did have the time and yet you seem to think you know better.
