Dr LIZ CRAIG (Labour): Anybody who's sat up overnight with a child with a toothache knows exactly how painful it can be, not only for the children but also the impact it has on parents and the wider whānau, as the child experiences poor outcomes. I think, looking back on my previous role monitoring child health, what my role used to be is collating all of the available information on children's health outcomes and then providing that to DHBs so they could look at planning. There were two sources of information we used to get: one was from the community of oral health services, and what they used to report back was the number of children—the proportion of children who were caries-free at five years, and also the decayed, missing, and filled teeth rate. So, looking at the proportion of children who had decayed, missing, and filled teeth at five years; and then they also took that through to year 8—so when children are about 12 or 13 years of age.
