Dental Services: Coastal Areas and Rural Areas
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether he plans to end the proposed use of NHS Dental Vans.
Answered by Stephen Kinnock
The Government plans to tackle the challenges patients face when trying to access National Health Service dental care with a rescue plan to provide 700,000 more urgent dental appointments, and to recruit new dentists to the areas that need them most. To rebuild dentistry in the long term and increase access to NHS dental care, we will reform the dental contract, with a shift to focus on prevention and the retention of NHS dentists. We will announce further plans in due course.
