Please see attached document.

 

The review undertaken was not undertaken by this authority, but by an NHS
organisation that has been superseded by others over the time elapsed. 
The proposals were received as part of a scrutiny activity of NHS plans at
that point in time and the enclosed document is a minute of the relevant
Health Scrutiny Committee.

 

Some information has been redacted #1A which is removed under Section
40(2) of the Data Protection Act. I have also removed Lincolnshire County

Despite not receiving the information via FoI procedures, we persevered and wrote directly to PHE Lincolnshire. After a few months and lots of shenanigans, we finally got a satisfactory reply. There had not been a Water Fluoridaton Review in 2006, 2007 or 2008 and the advice given by PHE to the Chair of Lincs Health and Well-Being Board was erroneous. Thus we are not locked out of attempting to overturn WF in the County.
