Oral Health Strategy for Scotland
6. Continuing Monitoring of the Strategy
 
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.
