IN answer to the letter from Guy Harkin - "Water is Monitored for Chemicals".

In his letter printed on February 14, Mr Harkin quotes that Action for Sick Children supports water fluoridation.

As chairman of this organisation, I can say that he has never, at any time, sought our opinion, and I take exception to his referring to our charity without discussing it with the board of trustees over permission to put our name in such an article.

It is totally wrong for him to quote us. We may or may not agree, but our opinion has never been sought.
