UK - Considered removing fluoride!

NHS officials reject service cuts
Earlier cuts to save money provoked an angry reaction
Health officials say proposals to close contraception clinics in Lincolnshire in a bid to tackle NHS debt should be turned down. After a public consultation, managers of the Lincolnshire South West PCT said the closure would put too much pressure on GPs taking over the service. Proposals to remove fluoride from the water supplies in the north and west of the county were also turned down. The decision will need to be ratified by meetings of two other PCTs.
Widespread consultation
Officials at the Lincolnshire South West PCT board meeting on Wednesday said they believed most teenagers would not visit a GP for family advice. They also said that removing fluoride from water would have a bad effect on dental health. The proposals will be discussed at board meetings of the West Lincolnshire and East Lincolnshire PCTs later in September. Dr Robert Wilson, said: "We've listened to the widespread consultation and one or two changes have been made as a result, which is what you expect to see after a consultation. "The decisions do have to be ratified formally by each PCT board, so the final decisions have not been made but the clear outcome of the consultation was that the proposed changes should be rejected."

Didn't know they considered removing it.
