Part of the debate – in the Senedd at 2:28 pm on 21 March 2017.
This morning dentists in England have been expressing extreme concern about the rise in dental decay in five-year-olds in England. I wondered if—. Obviously, we have Designed to Smile here, which has led to a noticeable reduction in the number of five-year-olds suffering tooth decay in Wales. But, nevertheless, one child with tooth decay aged five is far too many. What discussions have you had with the UK Government about their intention to introduce legislation to tax sugary drinks, as well as the conversations that have been had with the producers of sugary cereals that children are encouraged to eat in the morning, which are obviously the link between the numbers of children with tooth decay and something that we could easily do something about preventing?
