There is a commitment in the Programme for Government to carry out a national study of total fluoride intake in the population. This will be achieved through a bio-monitoring programme, which will be carried out by the HSE. The HSE is in the process of establishing a high level Advisory Group which will have technical and academic oversight of the project, so as to ensure any pilot and full studies are robustly using appropriate materials and methods. A Steering Group will then oversee the implementation of the project.
