As previously reported, control over water fluoridation is being centralised in the UK under the Secretary of State and taken away from local authorities.
"If it becomes law, the Bill will allow the Secretary of State, instead of local authorities, to establish new water fluoridation schemes, or to vary or terminate existing water fluoridation schemes in England"
" ... there will be a legal duty on the Secretary of State to undertake a formal public consultation before introducing any new water fluoridation schemes or before varying or terminating an existing scheme"
