Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, with reference to the Consultation, Advancing our health: prevention in the 2020s, published on 22 July 2019, when he plans to implement the Government's commitments on children’s oral health.
In ‘Advancing our health: Prevention in the 2020s’, we committed to consulting on rolling out a supervised toothbrushing scheme in more pre-school and primary school settings in England. We also committed to exploring the barriers to increasing water fluoridation. No date has yet been set for this consultation.
