These Regulations elaborate on the consultation requirements provided for in section 89 of the Water Industry Act 1991, where the Secretary of State proposes to enter into, vary or terminate arrangements with a water undertaker to increase the fluoride content of water supplied by the water undertaker.
The Regulations provide for the Secretary of State’s proposal to be published in such media as the Secretary of State considers appropriate, for the Secretary of State to give notice of the proposal to every local authority to whose area the proposal relates, and set out the details to be included in such publication (regulation 3). They prescribe the circumstances in which consultation is required in respect of a proposal to vary fluoridation arrangements (regulation 4). They also set out a non-exhaustive list of criteria by which the Secretary of State is to determine whether the Secretary of State should proceed with the proposal (regulation 5).
