§ Mr. ShersbyTo ask the Secretary of State for Health what plans the Health Education Authority has for an advertising campaign designed to improve the dental health of the nation; and if he will ensure that any campaign takes account of the recommendations shortly to be made by the COMA committee on sugars and diseases.
§ Mr. FreemanFollowing publication of the White Paper "Promoting Better Health" the Government have made funds available to the Health Education Authority to run a pilot campaign to promote dental health in the north-west. It is likely that the campaign will be under way before the recommendations of the COMA panel on dietary sugars are published, but they will be taken into account in any further development of the campaign.
