Sitting on the fence

I asked what the Southampton Council thought of the P.C.T.'s proposed fluoridation scheme.This is the reply.

Elected Members have not expressed any opinion yet. The Scrutiny Panel voted in favour of the recommendations in the report, namely
1. To note Southampton City Primary Care Trust’s (PCT) proposals on water fluoridation policy and to welcome the fact that this will result in a public consultation exercise

2.To indicate that the Scrutiny Panel would wish to be provided with the opportunity to comment as part of any future consultation exercise lead by the Strategic Health Authority.

So no views will be expressed until such time as the Strategic Health Authority publishes a set of proposals for consultation.

I hope this helps.
