We’re here today to release a significant survey – one which, for the first time in 21 years, gives us a clear and up-to-date picture of the state of oral health in New Zealand.

Overall, the survey shows that the oral health of New Zealanders has improved over time.

It validates the improvements in oral health shown in the annual monitoring of the school dental service.

The Government spends over $100 million each year on providing free dental care to children and teenagers.

Good afternoon and thank you for inviting me to be here with you today.

When your Chairman, Stephen Eagles invited me to speak today, he reminded me of our first meeting in Manchester back in 1994.

At the time Stephen was contemplating a move to New Zealand.

He tells me that I promoted New Zealand to him as a country with an economy with firm foundations based on long-sighted policies.

I am pleased to have been so influential.

Sixteen years ago, Stephen and I sat and discussed the economic prospects of New Zealand.
