Is it, in terms of physical health, safe to drink (kettle use and cooking
for example) hot water from a combi boiler?

Hot water from a combi is just the mains water having gone through a
heat exchanger

If it doesn't have a leak, then yes

Why not? It's mains water.

If the temperature is suitable, why not?

Many (?) years ago it was considered a bit risky to drink water via a
traditional heating system, but this was often derived through an open
cold water system in the loft which could be exposed to organic or
inorganic contamination.

I suppose that if some warmed water was left in the system for several
days there could be a potential risk, but in Real Life this doesn't
happen.
One assumes that you wash at least your hands every so often :-)

Sure I saw a gadget on a TV DIY show that provided boiling water on tap so
you didn't have to put the kettle on to make the tea.

Check out the reviews. Greenies tend to love it. People who want hot water
without mess don't.

I regularly do from a Multipoint -- it's used to fill the
kettle, etc, particularly if it's already been run hot.

You probably have seen one. I have just lfft a power supply for a kithcen
fitter to plug one in (after he has plumbed it in). It basically is a extra
tap on the kitchen sink.
