The document states that this will be a:
“National programme rolled out for 3 to 5-year-olds in early years settings – including nurseries and primary schools – in most deprived areas of England”.

More details are hoped for as to the locations and timeline.
If any areas receive information about being included within this national scheme, Public Health/Dental Public Health would be grateful if you would inform Jeyanthi John and RCDO, Dr Shab Shivji.
