Dear Sir or Madam,

As Swine flu continues to spread across the United Kingdom killing more British citizens, i have concerns about the handling of this outbreak. From what i can tell the Department of Health like many other countries health authorities have simply been following the advice of the United Nations, World Health Organization who's incompetence in dealing with this matter is clear.

So under the Freedom of Information Act..

1) Please release all communications between the department of Health and the World Health Organization (with obvious exceptions like personal details of victims).

2) Please release any internal document within the department or to other British government departments which questions the handling of this outbreak by the World Health Organization.

3) Current estimate on the cost to the United Kingdom of handling this outbreak so far.

4) How many airports in the UK operated or still operate screening checks for people arriving in the UK who may have swine flu.

5)Is this department capable of implementing full checks of people coming into the UK at airports and ports? Is there any guidance which could be released which states when this department would seek to have British borders and ports/airports closed to prevent further spread of the virus?

Considering how serious this outbreak has been it is clear that incorrect policies were implemented. Mexico, and perhaps even North America should have been quarantined, to prevent the spread of this virus, but its obvious the World Health Organization acted for political reasons rather than in the interests of World health.

Finally I would like to know how much money the United Kingdom gives to the incompetent United Nations - World Health Organization. I understand this data may not be available from this department, if that is the case I will submit a new FOI to the Treasury seeking that information.

Yours faithfully,

John Simpson
