Vote on exploring fluoridation pushed back to June Tynwald
Fluoridation of the water supply was a big topic in Tynwald this week, with the Social Affairs Policy Review Committee Report on oral health in our children presented to the court.
A number of recommendations were presented, including a request from the Council of Ministers for a research paper into fluoridation.
The request divided opinion amongst members and it was deferred for a vote until next month's sitting.
But Dr Michelle Haywood says now is the time to look at 'good quality evidence' and make an informed plan:
Infrastructure minister scraps Housing Association plans in favour of government-led agency
MHK accuses health department of breaching Manx Care Act
Treasury plans health surcharge for new residents before end of administration
MEDS to open later than usual
