The fluoridation row will rumble on in Tynwald today, when Rushn MHK Quintin Gill calls on the DHSS to end its membership of the British Fluoridation Society.
Mr Gill, a vocal critic of the plans to fluoridate the Island's public water supply, says membership may not have cost much, but an important principle is at stake (audio file attached):
A month ago the DHSS confirmed that, following public consultation, it did not intend to continue with a policy of fluoridation.
Market researchers carried out a survey of 1,000 Island residents, 54 per cent of whom were opposed to the move.
