If Guido were to com-pile a list of really sh*t press releases dumped out by the government, this would probably come in at number two.

“Thousands of people every year will be asked by their GP or other healthcare professional to give a stool (poo) sample for testing. A lot of people find the idea of this unpleasant and the pot is small so how do you fill it?”

The definition of government waste.
