Statement by the Minister for Health and Social Services: National Immunisation Framework for Wales
Can I thank the Minister for her statement today? I know that the First Minister and you have stated on numerous occasions throughout the pandemic that your Government would be guided by the science. I agree, of course, with that approach as well, and the…

Dentistry - evidence session with Cardiff University and Public Health Wales
Thank you for that. I know our predecessor committee did work on dentistry, and we're keen to do the same, and we'll certainly supply you all with a transcript of proceedings, and if you want to review that and add anything to what you said, and if you follow…

Dentistry - evidence session with Cardiff University and Public Health Wales
Thank you. Any Members got any last questions at all? No. And just to the panel: is there anything you want to add that will help us in our inquiry into dentistry that's not been drawn out through questions? Anything you want to, not repeat, but add to what's…

—[Inaudible.]—age group, I would assume.

Dentistry - evidence session with Cardiff University and Public Health Wales
Yes, I understood that point. Yes. Sarah Murphy.

Dentistry - evidence session with Cardiff University and Public Health Wales
I'll just bring Sarah in in a moment, but what I'm extracting from what you're saying is that perhaps the priority is more about what are the barriers to access for some vulnerable groups, rather than surveying oral health in those groups.
19 October 2022 , Health and Social Care Committee
Dentistry - evidence session with Cardiff University and Public Health Wales
What about, just beyond children and young people, other vulnerable groups as well, I suppose?
19 October 2022 , Health and Social Care Committee
Dentistry - evidence session with Cardiff University and Public Health Wales
And in regards to how you define need—it was one of the earlier questions as well—given that you mentioned that surveys on oral health in children can be quite costly, we've got a conversation about that and where priorities lie. Is it feasible to try and…

Thank you, Jack. Gareth Davies.

Dentistry - evidence session with Cardiff University and Public Health Wales
Yes, I can understand that.
19 October 2022 , Health and Social Care Committee
Dentistry - evidence session with Cardiff University and Public Health Wales
Do you have any further questions, Joyce? No. Jack, Gareth, we've got about five minutes for each of your sections. If the witnesses could just be as succinct as possible, so we can finish by about 12:05, if that's all right. Jack Sargeant.

Dentistry - evidence session with Cardiff University and Public Health Wales
That's a very pragmatic and helpful response, I think—a very honest response. Thank you. Sarah.

Professor Chestnutt, you mentioned this in your opening comments, I think. Do you want to make a comment on this first?
19 October 2022 , Health and Social Care Committee
Dentistry - evidence session with Cardiff University and Public Health Wales
Yes. Thank you. Sarah.
19 October 2022 , Health and Social Care Committee
Dentistry - evidence session with Cardiff University and Public Health Wales
Yes. I suppose, why is that age group perhaps not such a priority?
19 October 2022 , Health and Social Care Committee
Dentistry - evidence session with Cardiff University and Public Health Wales
[Inaudible.]—added value from doing that survey.
