Health Minister awaits fluoride advice
Posted June 18, 2012 13:02:47
A committee assessing whether fluoride should be introduced into Carnarvon's water supply will submit its advice to the Health Minister in the coming days.
In 2010, the Health Department announced a plan to add fluoride to Carnarvon's water.
Residents have been able to provide feedback on the proposal and those against the plan handed the Minister more than 800 letters opposing it.
The Carnarvon council also voted to support the position of the local Anti-Fluoride Action Group.
In a statement, a Health Department spokesman said the Fluoridation of the Public Water Supplies Advisory Committee would prepare its recommendations to the Minister and submit it for consideration.
The spokesman said the committee must provide the information to the Minister before making any public comment.
