Rotorua City Council Decision Yesterday on Fluoridation
> FIND applauds the Rotorua City council for not shirking it's responsibility to their citizens and stating they will
hold a fair public consultation process in deciding whether to fluoridate their water supply.
> The fact that they declined a request to collaborate with the Lakes District Health Board will allow this process
to be transparent, fair democratic.
> Communities deciding whether or not to drink and utilize water that has got added industrial fluoride in it need to
do so with informed consent and a proper knowledge of the facts, and not make decisions which are perverted by
propaganda campaigns.
> Top marks to the council for identifying that the DHBs have a pro-fluoridation agenda enshrined within their
contracts which precludes fair and unbiased discussion of the issues.
> The responsibility and community leadership being shown by the Rotorua City Council should set a benchmark to other
councils considering fluoridation.
