§ Mr. Gareth WardellTo ask the Secretary of State for Health what plans he has to launch a campaign to improve oral health.
§ Mr. DorrellMy right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Health announced on 9 May that up to £750,000 would be made available from the Department of Health to support oral health education projects in 1991–92. More than £1 million has already been spent in support of such projects since the publication of the White Paper "Promoting Better Health". Departmental funds will be used to support innovative local projects and to disseminate examples of good practice. Several proposals are currently under consideration and we shall be interested to receive others.
