LAST year I wrote to the Chief Medical Officer, Sir Liam Donaldson, to say that all fluoride information and responses were coming from the Chief Dental Officer, Dr Barry Cockroft.
Since it was the health risks rather than dental effects that concerned many of us, we needed a statement from the Chief Medical Officer.
I received no reply. The letter was printed in the Environmental Issues Forum Newsletter later. I have since received a reply from the Chief Dental Officer, to whom it was passed! May we assume that the Chief Medical Officer prefers to keep a very low profile indeed on this subject?
