The Environmental Health Sub-Committee pays particular attention to the potential impact on human health of Sellafield and the Drigg Waste Management Site.

The Sub-Committee takes reports relating to the effects on the environment of operations at Sellafield and Drigg and evaluates any implications for the community.

Independent experts on this sub-committee cross reference BNFL's figures with those of many other sources, in order to ensure that possible risks are not overlooked. Moreover, they can pursue enquiries directly with BNFL and Government bodies in a highly informed way. As a consequence, the concerns of the community are always taken to the right people. The Sub-Committee continues its enquiries until a resolution is secured.

Meetings are generally scheduled for the last Thursdays in May and November.
