Drug body fatally flawed, says Nutt
Updated on 04 November 2009
The government's drug advisory body is "fatally flawed" and should be rebuilt from scratch along the lines of the Bank of England, Professor David Nutt has declared.
Scientists advising politicians on the dangers of drugs should be as independent as the Bank of England officials who decide interest rates, he said.
The scientist at the centre of the drug advice row added that he was taking seriously an anonymous supporter's offer to fund an alternative expert group that would operate without any interference from ministers.
