star this property answer text <p>The most recent data from the National Diet and Nutrition Survey (NDNS), published in September 2016, show that men and women aged 65 years and older derived 11.4% and 10.2% respectively of their total dietary energy from sugars. This is more than double the level recommended by the Scientific Advisory Committee on Nutrition in its report ‘Carbohydrates and Health’ report published in July 2015 which recommended that the intake of free sugars should not exceed 5% of total dietary energy. The report is available at the following link:</p><p><a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/445503/SACN_Carbohydrates_and_Health.pdf" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/445503/SACN_Carbohydrates_and_Health.pdf</a></p><p>The sugars included in the NDNS assessment are those added to food during manufacture or cooking in the form of table sugar, honey or similar products, or released from the cell structure of food during processing, such as the sugars in fruit juice.</p>

star this property answer text <p>As part of our plan to tackle childhood obesity we launched a broad, structured and independently monitored sugar reduction programme, led by Public Health England (PHE), to remove sugar from the products children eat most. This can be achieved through reduction of sugar levels in products, reducing portion size or shifting purchasing towards lower sugar alternatives.</p><p> </p><p>Since March 2017, PHE has engaged with all of the food industry (retailers, manufacturers and the out of home sector) to discuss what industry could do to meet the 20% reduction in sugar by 2020. PHE will continue these discussions and will publish regular updates on progress towards the 20% sugar reduction.</p><p> </p><p>A list of PHE’s industry and other stakeholder engagement on this agenda was published in March and can be viewed here:</p><p><a href="http://www.gov.uk/government/publications/sugar-reduction-and-wider-reformulation-stakeholder-engagement" target="_blank">www.gov.uk/government/publications/sugar-reduction-and-wider-reformulation-stakeholder-engagement</a></p>

The comparable nature of the data facilitates the following uses: for national and local policy makers to design, implement and monitor policies on oral health and dental services; for dental commissioners in NHS England to ensure commissioned services are meeting the needs of the population; for local authorities to fulfil a statutory function to assess the oral health needs of their populations - to inform the adult oral health elements of their joint strategic needs assessments and their local adult oral health improvement plans.</p> more like this

These include engaging with patients and the public, and hosting provider events, working with professional representative groups and other key stakeholders. Options available to commissioners include:</p><p> </p><p>- Procurement through an Alternative Provider Medical Services contract, which allow the widest range of providers to bid for delivery;</p><p> </p><p>- Re-procurement through General Medical Services or Personal Medical Services contracts, which are contracts that can only be held by general practitioners or wider members of the National Health Service family; and</p><p> </p><p>- List dispersal in the case of generally small practices where there is reasonable provision from neighbouring practices.</p>
