answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/01/2023 answer text <p>The Department funds research on health and social care through the National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR). The NIHR welcomes funding applications for research into any aspect of human health including the impact of water fluoridation in adults and children. The usual practice of the NIHR is not to ring-fence funds for expenditure on particular topics. We monitor the effects of the water fluoridation arrangements on the health of the populations served by schemes and publish a report every four years. The latest report, published in 2022, supports earlier findings and wider evidence that water fluoridation, at levels recommended in the United Kingdom, is a safe and effective public health measure to reduce dental decay and inequalities in dental health.</p> answering member constituency Harborough answering member printed Neil O'Brien question first answered 19/01/2023 11:48:08 answering member 4679 label Biography information for Neil O'Brien
