UK Against Fluoridation

Wednesday, May 18, 2011

UK - House of Lords

The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State, Department of Health (Earl Howe): The National Fluoride Information Centre was hosted by Manchester University Dental School. With the cessation of funding, the school may archive the website or take it over. Either way we will ask that the amendment is made beforehand.

Asked by Earl Baldwin of Bewdley

To ask Her Majesty's Government why they have ceased to fund the National Fluoride Information Centre.[HL9033]

Earl Howe: We have sought to reduce central funding to a minimum in order that priorities on use of the limited funds available to the National Health Service may be determined locally. Information on the effects of fluorides continues to be available from university dental schools, professional bodies in dentistry and other relevant research and healthcare support organisations.
