Water Fluoridation (WF) Public Consultation (PC) – DHSC/NHS Communications
Dear Department of Health and Social Care,
I require to be sent copies of all correspondence between the responsible person/s who authorised and who administer the PC, and NHS leaders who received communications about the PC on 25th March and/or during a lead up period to the PC starting, say 1st June 2023.
Communications may be either emails and/or hard copy and I would like to see both.
(The Public Consultation had a start date of 25th March 2024. The url is https://www.gov.uk/government/consultati... )
Yours faithfully,
Joy Warren
Dear Department of Health and Social Care,

Dear Department of Health and Social Care,
You have asked for clarification to further explain my request. Note: this is NOT a request for an Internal Review.
The administrator of the Water Fluoridation Consultation (whose name I do not know but he/she has the email [email address]) told me on 28th March that:
"As well as this public promotion, we have shared details of the consultation starting with NHS England, the Chief Dental Officer, North East & North Cumbria Integrated Care Board and external stakeholder organisations. MPs related to the proposal have been notified of the consultation."
Would you please ask that administrator for the information which I requested in my earlier FoI Request.
Yours faithfully,
Joy Warren
Dear Department of Health and Social Care,

Dear Ms Warren,
Please find attached the Department of Health and Social Care's response
to your recent EIR request (our ref: EIR-1510481).
Please note this response is aggregated with EIR-1510224 and the
attachments mentioned have been enclosed with the email response to that
request.

Dear Department of Health and Social Care,
THIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR AN INTERNAL REVIEW.
Thank you for the list of external stakeholders. That request to the DHSC did not form part of a Freedom of Information request. All the same, I am grateful to see how many organisations were told in advance of the Public Consultation.
My FoI request 1505863 to you involved asking for sight of correspondence between the DHSC and the NHS bodies who were alerted to the commencement of the Public Consultation on Water Fluoridation for the North-East of England. Your reply refers to six enclosed .pdf documents which I cannot see as being part of your reply. Can you please resend?
Yours faithfully,
Joy Warren
Dear Ms Warren,
As you know, you submitted two EIR requests to DHSC and they were aggregated into one response.
However, because you submitted two different email addresses, it may be that you did not receive the response which included the enclosures. That response was emailed to you at [email address].
For your convenience, I am resending them to you now and I hope this is helpful.
Yours sincerely,
