| 6.1 Section 3.2 outlined
how progress towards the national oral health targets
will be monitored. It will also be necessary to keep this
oral health strategy under review and to adjust it should
circumstances change over time. As with so many other
aspects of health in Scotland where lifestyle changes are
required, it will take time and a consistent effort if
Scotland's poor oral health record is to be improved. The
Scottish Office Department of Health will conduct
periodic reviews of progress of all the health targets
and will report the results widely. |
