Poll: What do you think about fluoride in drinking water?

Reporter Marlborough Express

The Government is taking control of water fluoridation from councils and giving it to health director general Ashley Bloomfield.
Associate Health Minister Dr Ayesha Verrall announced the policy on Thursday, dusting off a long dormant bill from the National government that was to give fluoridation power to local district health boards (DHBs).
She will amend that bill so it will instead give the power to the director general of health, who is currently Bloomfield.
