SHA should change its mind
RICHARD GRANT "Just seeing the way the wind blows" (Letters, October 13), accuses Conservative Julian Lewis of waiting to see how things pan out before deciding on policies.
He writes that surely the whole fluoridation campaign initially was led by the experienced local councillor and Liberal Democrat David Harrison. Not wishing to belittle either of the two men who have worked unstintingly on our behalf but it was John Spottiswoode of the Green Party who first proposed a new group to fight the PCT's fluoridation agenda. Non-political, Hampshire Against Fluoridation was inaugurated on Monday February 18, 2008.
I would add that Julian Lewis has for many years opposed fluoridation long before the latest attempt by the NHS to foist it on us. I'm not knowledgeable enough to comment on the National Park issue but I do not see that to change one's mind is a bad thing. I only wish the Strategic Health Authority would.
