Part 6: Miscellaneous Fluoridation of Water Supplies Section 176: Fluoridation of water supplies: transitional provision
This section inserts new transitional provisions into the Water Industry Act 1991 in relation to England. They provide to the Secretary of State for Health and Social care the power to require water undertakers to enter into updated water fluoridation arrangements where the Secretary of State considers it necessary to render the arrangements fit for purpose. This section also amends section 91 of the Water Industry Act 1991 so that it applies only to Wales, maintaining the current position for transitional provisions in relation to Wales and any Welsh fluoridation arrangements.
