What is being bought

Published requirement description

Local Authorities have a statutory duty to provide or commission oral health improvement

programmes to improve the health of the local population, to the extent they consider

appropriate. Oral diseases, including the most common oral health conditions - tooth decay

and gum disease- are largely preventable. Despite this, the impact of poor oral health locally,

nationally and globally is huge. In the UK context, treatment of oral health conditions cost

the NHS over £3 billion per year but the cost to society is even greater.

Among older adults in residential care, poor oral hygiene can lead to aspirated pneumonia

and malnutrition and dehydration, which in turn can lead to urinary tract infection. It vital that

Oldham has a dedicated provision in place to support vulnerable older adults.
