TL;DR: The Chief Medical Officer should act as an health educator for Ministers and Politicians, because in face of health emergencies a negative attitude by part of decision-making people can provoke useless and dangerous measures.

In the same time Public Health is deeply involved into Health Care problems and environmental hygiene which means a lot of administrative responsibilities and the risk of over-dependence from ritualistic measures often adopted in order to avoid criticism and the intervention of the Court.
