FLUORIDE – what a carry on!

Unbelievable behaviour from Public Health England (PHE). I would like to thank the Echo for keeping things honest and for keeping the public informed, which is a good thing as the PHE couldn’t care less, or so it seems.

A health authority should command a certain level of trust and respect, but how does one respect something that’s ignoring the wishes of the very people it cares for?

Under Article 35 of the Charter, the right to health care includes the right to refuse health care, for whatever reason. It establishes the individual’s right to receive drugs or treatment – or to prevent them from having such treatment administered against their wishes.

We keep hearing about a referendum, but haven’t we voted already? Wasn’t that a part of the process? Is there an amendment saying it’s the best of three? No, there isn’t.

The PHE should stick to what they are good at and that’s alienating themselves towards the public. In my view they should be dispatched just like the SHA was, then maybe we will have a health authority made up of doctors and medical professionals instead of the mis-matched disaster we have today.
