BETTER ORAL HEALTH IN RESIDENTIAL CARE PROGRAM

49 Dr McFETRIDGE (Morphett) (1 June 2010). How much State Government expenditure is allocated to the 'Better Oral Health in Residential Care' program?

The Hon. J.D. HILL (Kaurna—Minister for Health, Minister for Mental Health and Substance Abuse, Minister for the Southern Suburbs, Minister Assisting the Premier in the Arts): I am advised:

SA Dental Service was the recipient of a $1.3 million project grant funded by the Australian Government to develop an evidence-based model called Better Oral Health in Residential Care. The Department of Health and Ageing is responsible for implementing the Model as part of Australia's first national Nursing Home Oral and Dental Health Plan.
