HC Deb 14 January 1993 vol 216 c771W
Mr. Barry Jones

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales what measures he will take to improve the dental health of pupils in the schools of Wales.

Mr. Gwilym Jones

It is the responsibility of health authorities, in conjunction with family health services authorities, to procure adequate dental health services for their area based on their assessment of local need.

The Welsh Office has circulated an "Oral Health Gain Protocol for Wales" which should assist health authorities in this process.

Mr. Barry Jones

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales if he will list in order of dental health the health districts of Wales according to United Kingdom dental surveys; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Gwilym Jones

The decannial United Kingdom child and adult dental health surveys do not provide data in the form requested.
