Community Water Fluoridation Expansion in the North East of England

DHSC has launched a consultation on their proposal for a community water fluoridation scheme for the North East of England.

They are consulting on a proposal to request the relevant water company to enter into new fluoridation arrangements, and to vary existing agreements, in order to expand community water fluoridation schemes across the north east of England. This is because of the significant and long-standing inequalities in the region and is part of the government’s plan to improve dental health.

The consultation period will close at 11:59pm on 17 June 2024
