Coun Elaine Byrom doesn't believe there is support for fluoridation
Dental health professionals last night outlined how they plan to improve the oral health of the Bradford population.
Children in Bradford have some of the worst teeth and gums in the country and Bradford Council's health improvement committee has long voiced its concerns about how to improve access to dental care in the district.Representatives from Bradford and Airedale Teaching Primary Care Trust gave a presentation on the provision of dentistry and oral health improvement plans.This included an outline of an oral health action plan, which includes support for the fluoridation of water, a measure which Bradford Council rejected as "unethical" when it was last raised in 2003.
The dental experts' report says: "The need for water fluoridation in Bradford is clear, with benefits for the whole population.
"If water fluoridation is found to be feasible in Yorkshire and Humber, the tPCT would request the Strategic Health Authority to carry out a public consultation exercise to assess local support for such a measure."
