Thanks from VOHA

To all those people who joined the Victorian Oral Health Alliance in seeking improved dental health measures from the parties contesting the Victorian State Eelction - THANK YOU.

Many who were directly affected by poor access to care took advantage of VOHA's email facilities to send messages to candidates, as did numerous others who simply shared our concerns about the impact of poor dental care on the community.

To those parties that responded to the need and included specific dental measures in their health policy platforms, we thank you also. It was gratifying to see that these matters were recognised as serious public policy issues.

VOHA has a continuing role, and we plan to update our website soon to focus on measures we feel should be addressed in the Victorian Budget for 2007/08.
