Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, with reference to the 2019 Prevention Green Paper, when his Department plans to publish the public consultation on supervised tooth brushing.
The Government’s Green Paper: ‘Advancing our health: prevention in the 2020s’, published in July 2019, committed to consulting this year on a national school toothbrushing scheme in more pre-school settings and primary schools in England.
The intention is to begin a public consultation on a national school toothbrushing scheme, later this year.
