ANY PLANS to put fluoride into East Lancashire’s water will be delayed until after the general election, health bosses have confirmed.
NHS North West said a legal challenge to the controversial process in Southampton put other areas in an “uncertain” position so should be postponed.
A new report by United Utilities found the cost across the North West would be about £200million, which equates to around £30 per person, followed by annual costs of almost £6million.
