Fluoridation

Mr. Crausby
To ask the Secretary of State for Health how many letters his Department received requesting fluoridation of the public water supply in each year since 2000.

Ann Keen
Section 58 of the Water Act 2003 made strategic health authorities responsible for responding to requests to fluoridate a water supply. We have no record of any letters requesting the Department to fluoridate a water supply since 2000.
