ENGLAND'S MOT HEALTH TEST IS INEFFECTIVE

摘要

The NHS health check programme is ineffective and wastes ￡450m a year that could be better spent promoting a healthy lifestyle, according to research published in the Journal of Public Health (2015;37:187-192). Researchers say the programme — described as an MOT for people aged 40-74 years in England — fails to meet a number of health screening criteria laid down by the World Health Organization (WHO).
