Dear Bill Chisholm
Thank you for your request for official information, received by the
Ministry of Health on 8 April 2018.

You requested:
What is it that NZ knows that the majority of countries world wide (
including most of Western Europe) do not know regards the fluoridation of
public water supplies?
The evidence suggests that there is no difference in the rate of tooth
decay between fluoridated and non-fluoridated areas.
But with fluoridation we add a known toxic substance thus poisoning our
people, especially our vulnerable children

Your request has been received and logged.  You can expect a reply no
later than 7 May 2018 as required under the Official Information Act 1982.

Please note that a working day is defined in the Act as ‘any day of the
week other than a Saturday, Sunday, Good Friday, Easter Monday, Anzac Day,
Labour Day, the Sovereigns birthday, Waitangi Day and a day in the period
commencing 25 December in any year and ending 15 January in the following
year.

If a large amount of information has been requested or if the Ministry
needs to consult in order to make a decision, we may need to extend this
date (this is provided for in section 15A of the Act).  We will advise you
if such an extension is necessary.

The Ministry's reference number for your request is: H201802639

Yours sincerely,
