The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State, Department of Health (Earl Howe): The National Fluoride Information Centre was hosted by Manchester University Dental School. With the cessation of funding, the school may archive the website or take it over. Either way we will ask that the amendment is made beforehand.
Asked by Earl Baldwin of Bewdley
To ask Her Majesty's Government why they have ceased to fund the National Fluoride Information Centre.[HL9033]
Earl Howe: We have sought to reduce central funding to a minimum in order that priorities on use of the limited funds available to the National Health Service may be determined locally. Information on the effects of fluorides continues to be available from university dental schools, professional bodies in dentistry and other relevant research and healthcare support organisations.

The NFIC got £125,000 a year from the Treasury to carry out its work of advising the profession on the merits of fluoridation, including those nice folk at the South Central Strategic Health Authority. That payment was utterly insignificant in terms of the NHS budget.
So if you want to know the real reason for the government having to pull the funding of its Fluoride Flagship, the NFIC, go to http://www.ukcaf.org/the_nfic_hoax.html where all will be revealed!
You will be delighted to see our undercover investigator's photos of this magnificent 'Centre of Excellence' - in a semi-derelict building that the University of Manchester's School of Pharmacy was forced to abandon in 2007, because it was officially considered to be "unfit for modern science!"
So that's the British Fluoridation Society's government funding pulled, its Vice President Andy Burnham hastily resigning from his position within the BFS, and now the government quietly putting the NFIC into mothballs - who said we aren't seeing any progress in fighting fluoridation here in the UK?
