For what's its worth, Dr. Carter held a similar stance to Dr. Bhatti, back in March 2020:
Public Health England issue latest advice on COVID-19
Dr Helen Carter, Director of Healthcare Public Health for PHE West Midlands, said: “For most people, coronavirus (COVID-19) will be a mild infection and following this advice will help protect family, friends and communities who are more at risk of severe illness and slow the spread of the virus.
“Most adults in good health who develop symptoms will fully recover, and the CMO has advised that it is not necessary for them to be tested. However, to protect the most vulnerable, people with symptoms should stay at home for the specified timescales to reduce the spread in the community.
Oh how the facts changed and the fear continues... October 2021-
Region at 'tipping point' over rising Covid cases, health chief says
The West Midlands has reached a "tipping point" in the coronavirus pandemic and must act now to prevent history repeating itself, a public health chief has warned.
Dr Helen Carter said infection rates across the region were rocketing towards levels last seen at the height of the crisis, with cases now rising rapidly amongst the elderly.
And she said the situation was likely to deteriorate further if people did not follow the rules, with harsher lockdown restrictions put in place and an increase in the number of Covid deaths.
This is an interesting story - and the author writes she's a technocrat – from July 2020 -
“We have had some incredibly upset people who have spoken of neighbours not speaking to them, of communities not being supportive,” Dr Carter told the reporter. “Having supported some incredibly distressed members of the public there is an element of wanting to protect them from quite nasty hate crimes,” she added.
Quite how Dr Carter’s remarks should be interpreted is unclear. The technocrat’s quotes at times appear to suggest simply that people known to be coronavirus-positive have in some cases been mistreated — but her references to “hate crimes” and also “community tensions” perhaps suggest outbreaks may have been concentrated in particular groups at times.
It may be there is a "disconnect" between why Britons can't protest, but why immigrants can continue arrive en masse.
Sajid Javid took over Matt Hancock's job - still promotes same.
Helen Carter takes over Sohail Bhatti's job - time will tell if she promotes the same.
She comes from PHE and has unfortunately been disseminating the same information Defending-Gibraltar counters.
She has also been featured in the Chronicle: How Britain Lost Track of The Coronavirus -
Secrecy was pervasive. Dr Helen Carter, Public Health England's deputy director in the Midlands, revealed in a May 15 memo to Birmingham councillors that the government had initially ordered the agency not to share with local councils its surveillance reports containing data about notified cases from local hospital emergency rooms and general practitioners.
"Until April 2020 PHE was not permitted to share the surveillance reports with local partners by the Cabinet Office," she wrote in the memo, which is reported here for the first time. After April, information was shared with public health directors, but the reports remained official secrets and were "marked as official sensitive and not in the public domain," said the memo, which was reviewed by Reuters.
Public Health England declined requests by Reuters to interview Carter or any member of its staff involved in contact tracing. A spokesman said some of its surveillance reports were classified as "official sensitive" which, the spokesman said, was standard practice for non-public information. The agency had a "constant dialogue" with local health directors, with "routine exchanges of information and data," the spokesman added.
Well, "secrecy" is right up Gibraltar's ally.
