Federal election dental health report card questions for politicians

The ADA has invited the main political parties to respond to a series of foundational questions on Dental Health Policy.

The release of the Report Card Questions coincides with the launch of the ADA 2013 Federal Election website (www.ada.org.au/oralhealth/fe13.aspx), which will feature not only each political party's answers in full, it will also provide the latest advice on dental health issues.

Improving Australia's oral health is a key goal for the ADA.

The ADA is looking for all 2013 Federal Election candidates to commit to targeting funding for dental health to those most in need; investing in oral health promotion and prevention activities; addressing the oversupply of dentists; and maintaining the quality and safety of dental services.
