Abstract

Subject to and in accordance with this Act and regulations made under this Act, a health authority (defined) shall arrange for the fluoridation of water supplied to the public by sanitary authorities (defined) through pipes. The Minister for Health may make regulations as to the manner in which and the extent to which health authorities shall perform their functions under this Act, and such regulations shall in particular provide for the specification of the amount of fluorine (which shall not exceed one part by weight of fluorine per million parts of water) which may be added to a water supply. The Minister may require sanitary authorities to perform, as agents for health authorities, such acts, in relation to the fluoridation of water, as the Minister thinks fit and specifies in Regulations. The Minister shall arrange from time to time for such surveys as appear to him to be desirable to be made as respects the health.
