‘…we consider a complete and outright ban the only responsible decision’.

In a letter delivered to the Prime Minister earlier this week, a group of 143 doctors, nurses and health specialists has called on Theresa May to ban fracking in her final fortnight in office.

The group – Concerned Health Professionals of the UK – warned the prime minister that her government’s support for fracking puts the health of communities at risk and called for an immediate ban on fracking.
