Federal election oral health report card

The Australian Dental Association Inc. is preparing a report card on where the major political parties stand on oral health.

ADA has asked the parties to respond to a list of questions on dental care programs. The responses – or lack thereof – will form the ADA Federal Election 2010 Report Card which will be on the Association’s website.

ADA has recommended to all political parties the introduction of a dental health scheme that will immediately improve access to dental services for disadvantaged people, whether financially or geographically handicapped.
