Dr. Fox: To ask the Secretary of State for Health, pursuant to the answer of 17 April, Official Report, column 1019W, what the cost
per tube was of toothpaste distributed; what areas of the country were targeted for the project; and what evaluation of the scheme
has taken place. [57091]
Mr. Lammy: The total cost of each pack provided under the scheme is less than £1. The exact price is commercially sensitive
information.
£1 million has been set aside for the project. It initially covered the 21 health authorities with the highest levels of dental
decay--11 in the North, 5 in Yorkshire and 5 in London--and also all areas not in receipt of fluoridated water where there are Sure
Start schemes. However, we have since added 5 more in the North, 3 in Yorkshire and 2 in Devon, bringing the total health
authorities benefiting from this scheme to 31.
The Department has commissioned The Guys, Kings and St. Thomas Dental School to evaluate the scheme, which is due to run for 3
years.
