HC Deb 09 July 1991 vol 194 c330W
Mr. Gareth Wardell

To ask the Secretary of State for Health what plans he has to launch a campaign to improve oral health.

Mr. Dorrell

My 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.
