To ask the Scottish Executive how much funding it has allocated to the British Fluoridation Society in the last year and what advice it has received from the society
The British Fluoridation Society is receiving grant of £10,000 in 2004-05 under section 16B of the National Health Services (Scotland) Act 1978. The society is a source of information on fluoridation issues, from which the Executive and other bodies or individuals can draw as appropriate. The Executive does not provide grant assistance to any other organisations with a specific focus on fluoridation.
