Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask Her Majesty's Government when they plan (1) to confirm the funding, and (2) to announce the timing, of the next Adult Dental Health Survey.
Funding has been received for 2019/20. The Adult Dental Health Survey protocol has been developed and stakeholder engagement completed. Funding for 2020/21 would enable the commencement of the survey fieldwork. The COVID-19 pandemic is likely to impact on the clinical examination.
