Dental Services: Standards
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what plans he has for legislative reforms to improve the provision of dental services.
Answered by Stephen Kinnock
The Government is committed to tackling 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 areas that need them most. To rebuild dentistry in the long term, we will reform the dental contract, with a shift to focus on prevention and retaining NHS dentists.
