The position of the expert reviewers on the scientific evidence based justification for precautionary policies aimed at containing environmental exposures to electromagnetic and radiofrequency fields and pesticides reported to be associated with brain tumours and leukaemia is shown in Figure 11.
The chancellor used the Gershon review as his "evidence-based" justification for the cuts which, he asserted, would transfer resources to the frontline.
A complete autonomy-based justification for the informed consent requirement would explain both why personal autonomy, under a plausible explication, matters why it has high value or status, at least in the health arena; and how honoring the informed consent requirement engages with its value or status correctly.

The C statistic of the Framingham model based predictions in the Justification for the Use of Statins in Prevention cohort was 0.65 (95% confidence interval 0.62 to 0.68), almost equal to the C statistic of the predictions based on the Reynolds model (0.66, 0.63 to 0.69).
We developed and evaluated methods for predicting treatment effect using rosuvastatin in individual patients in a primary prevention setting based on data from the Justification for the Use of Statins in Prevention trial.
