Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 2 February 2010
325 Deputy Ciarán Cuffe asked the Minister for Health and Children the progress made in carrying out a study to determine the levels of fluoride in the population; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [5036/10]
View answerIn 2007, the Health Service Executive (HSE) joined an EU Human Bio Monitoring programme.
The HSE will use this Human Bio Monitoring programme to collect information regarding the total exposure in the population to fluoride which will satisfy the Programme for Government commitment. I expect results from this programme in 2012.
The programme is due to commence in mid July, 2010.
