Andrew Lansley is guilty of a "dereliction of duty" for failing to tackle Britain's growing obesity epidemic, one of his former public health advisers warns today.
In an interview with The Independent Professor Simon Capewell, who served on the Health Secretary's Public Health Commission in opposition, accuses Mr Lansley of conniving with the food industry and ignoring scientific evidence on obesity.
And he warns that the Government's plan to "work together" with manufacturers to introduce voluntary cuts to fat, sugar and salt levels in food as like "putting Dracula in charge of the blood bank".
