Members to take part in combined vote on fluoridation at this month's sitting
The health minister says it's a challenge to get bold ideas through Tynwald after the Legislative Council rejected his calls for a study into fluoridation.
Tynwald will be asked to take part in a combined vote at this month's sitting after the House of Keys and LegCo were unable to agree whether to back calls for an investigation into adding fluoride to the drinking water last month.
The Council of Ministers put forward the idea following a committee report into children's oral health on the Isle of Man.
