Dear Department of Health and Social Care,

Thankyou for the information you sent in your reply, dated 28th February 2023. However, I did not ask for the identity of anyone, and the first part of my question related to the scientific qualifications and length of professional work experience of the members of the Working Group who wrote the sections on hip fracture in the 2022 Water Fluoridation Health Monitoring Report . I do not think the information would suffice to identify anyone single person. Therefore, I do not feel that a Section 40 prohibition is applicable.
This is the reason I am now asking for an Internal Review.

Yours faithfully,

Michael Watson
