Water Fluoridation Update
On 27 July 2022 Council has been advised by the Ministry of Health it must add fluoride to the Cambridge water supply.
This is NOT a council decision. The law was changed in November 2021 and it is now the Ministry of Health that makes ALL decisions around fluoride. Council has already advised the Ministry it will take at least nine months to take this action, and only after receiving funding to help pay for the work required. At this stage, we have no information as to when that funding will be provided, meaning this change is still some way off. If you wish to make comment or receive further information about this issue please email the Ministry directly on info@health.govt.nz. Here is a link to the Ministry’s news release which may also be helpful. https://www.health.govt.nz/news-media/media-releas...
