ON the issue of adding fluoride to tap water, Public Health England are proving every bit as bad as the Strategic Health Authority it replaced.

I wish to express my disgust in the waste of public money, filling the pockets of lawyers, trying to impose something on the public that is not wanted.

This is money that could otherwise be put to good use in many other areas of public health. I’m seriously thinking of starting a campaign to abolish Public Health England.

If it can’t get this right, what confidence can you have in anything else it does ?
