The Dental Health Foundation receives annual funding from the Department of Health for the provision of secretariat services to the Irish Expert Body on Fluorides and Health including staffing and office costs. Funding of almost €215,000 was provided in 2018. A Financial Agreement between the Department and the Dental Health Foundation accompanies the allocation of funding each year. The funding is drawn down monthly on receipt of the required documentation including bank and expenditure statements.

The Dental Health Foundation's Financial Statement for 2017 is published on its website.

I have asked the HSE to respond directly to the Deputy on its funding and service level agreement with the Dental Health Foundation.
