Fluoridation SIR,—It is good to see cross-party support in the New Forest East over the need to get the Strategic Health Authority (SHA) to change its approach over fluoridation. An education based approach, delivered in nurseries and schools, is the most effective way of achieving this and Coun. David Harrison, supports this way forward. (Letters, October 31st). I am sorry to remind David Harrison...

Logic is demanding we reconsider fluoride THE news that children in Southampton suffer no more tooth decay than the national average is very welcome. I am sure the bosses at the South Central Strategic Health Authority are as pleased as I am at this news. Good public health policy should always be guided by evidence. It is frankly inconceivable that the original decision to proceed with adding fluoride...

There is a solution... IN my view and that of many in the Labour party in New Forest East is that the fluoride debate has gone on for long enough and a solution must be found that is acceptable to the majority. Firstly I want to congratulate Julian Lewis MP, Cllr David Harrison and others involved, on their efforts to seek a review of the Strategic Health Authority decision. The SNA has ploughed ahead,...

SHA should change its mind RICHARD GRANT "Just seeing the way the wind blows" (Letters, October 13), accuses Conservative Julian Lewis of waiting to see how things pan out before deciding on policies. He writes that surely the whole fluoridation campaign initially was led by the experienced local councillor and Liberal Democrat David Harrison. Not wishing to belittle either of the two men...

KEEP Fluoride put of OUR tap water says David Harrison The fight to keep to keep fluoride out of tap water is as much about democracy as it is the health risks. Leading campaigners, like Liberal Democrat Councillor David Harrison, have been working with politicians of all parties to try and stop the plans. A formal complaint has been lodged with the Health Ombudsman. The decision by the unelected Strategic...

Act before it's too late, Mr Denham IT is now one month since I wrote an open letter to John Denham MP, published in the Echo, asking exactly what he proposes to do with regard to the fluoride in tap water issue.' I appreciate that it is the holiday season but we are now one month nearer a situation where fluoride will be added to the tap water in thousands of local homes, unless the Government steps...
