Do you want flouride in your water?
Oct 16 2008 by Andrew Hirst, Huddersfield Daily Examiner
A KIRKLEES Council scrutiny panel is to gather evidence about the pros and cons of adding fluoride to water.
The move comes after Health Secretary Alan Johnson asked primary care trusts in areas with poor oral health to start consultations on putting fluoride in water supplies to help prevent tooth decay and reduce health inequalities.
These areas include Kirklees.
Panel chairman Clr Molly Walton said it would make recommendations to the council, which will pass them to the local primary care trust.
. Evidence will be gathered from oral health professionals. The panel will also welcome the views of the public.
