Caught a mention of this on the radio this morning - it is the House of Lords Intergovernmental Organisations Committee, which has issued a report on the spread of pandemic diseases. One headline was that it apparently considers the WHO to be ill equipped to deal with the threat of a pandemic.
The Telegraph is reporting it, as is the Times, and the Committee page without the report is here. The report itself, called Diseases know no frontiers, is here.
Later note: BBC has picked this up, at http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/7516850.stm
