(asked on 19th January 2016) - View Source
Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask Her Majesty’s Government what plans they have to introduce fluoride into the water of the North West of England.
This question was answered on 1st February 2016
There are currently water fluoridation schemes in the North West of England serving parts of Cumbria and Cheshire.
It has been the policy of successive governments that decisions on water fluoridation are best taken locally. The Health and Social Care Act 2012 gave powers to upper tier and unitary local authorities to make proposals in relation to fluoridation.
