Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 10 April 2014
191. Deputy Tom Fleming asked the Minister for Health when will the proposed review group be appointed in respect of the use of fluoride in public water supplies; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [17129/14]
View answerThe Department of Health keeps the policy of water fluoridation under constant review. As part of this ongoing work, a review of evidence on the impact of water fluoridation at its current level on the health of the population and on the environment is being conducted by the Health Research Board (HRB) on behalf of the Department. This will be peer-reviewed as part of the HRB process and my Department has no role in this matter.
