UK - Daily Echo - Government should step in and stop this
Government should step in and stop this
FAR from lamenting that their hands are tied by legislation, as reported in the Daily Echo (August 7), the managers of Southern Water should have strenuously opposed the possible introduction of fluoridation.
They should have pointed out that the legislation is severely flawed, being a gross interference with their functions as a water supplier, an abuse of the natural rights of their customers and a form of mass-medication which the Health Department admits, although carefully avoiding the term using an unnecessary chemical to which some of the population are actually allergic.
They should have pointed out that such a requirement is detrimental to their professional reputation and contrary to their expressly published aims and commitment to water quality.
There is no need whatever to pursue the costly court proceedings. The Government should step in and stop matters immediately.
