52) National programme to promote oral health

The National Programme for the Promotion of Oral Health was published by the Ministerial Order in the Daily Republic 3, Series II, on January 5, 2005. Given that it is now 21 months since its entry into vigar, question is:
-What is the number and percentage of children and young people (over the total national population of the respective age groups) that are covered by the program?
-What the gardens-of-childhood and primary and secondary schools of the country covered by the programme?
Waits is a response of the official authorities, particularly the Ministry of Health and the Ministry of Education.
