Water Fluoridation (Consultation) (England) Regulations 2005 (S.I. No. 921 of 2005).

These Regulations elaborate on the consultation requirements provided for in section 89 of the Water Industry Act 1991, where a Strategic Health Authority proposes to enter into, vary, maintain or terminate arrangements with a water undertaker to increase the fluoride content of water supplied by the undertaker. The Regulations provide for the Authority's proposal to be advertised within the area to which the arrangements relate, and set out the details to be included in any advertisement (reg. 3). They prescribe the circumstances in which consultation is required in respect of a proposal to vary or maintain fluoridation arrangements (reg. 4). They also specify the criteria by which the Authority is to determine whether, in the light of representations made to them, they should proceed with the proposal (reg. 5).
