PENNY SIMMONDS (National—Invercargill): Thank you, Madam Speaker. I rise to take a short call on the Health (Fluoridation of Drinking Water) Amendment Bill, which National supports. So while oral healthcare in New Zealand has certainly improved over the last 40 or 50 years, we do still have very high rates of preventable tooth decay. Moving the decision-making process from local councils to the Ministry of Health is recognising that this is a health-related issue. However, the National Party strongly believes that local communities must have a voice in this decision making, and it does look a little bit like another decision being taken away from the local community as this Government is very prone to do—think tertiary education, think DHBs, think water, think local authorities, and if people haven't seen a trend here yet, they should be opening their eyes.
