The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what the average waiting time for an NHS dental practice is in Romford constituency.

Answered by Stephen Kinnock

Patients in England are not registered with an NHS dental practice and there is no single waiting list, although many NHS dental practices do tend to see patients regularly and may operate local waiting list arrangements.

The responsibility for commissioning primary care, including dentistry, to meet the needs of the local population has been delegated to all integrated care boards (ICBs) across England. For Romford constituency, this is NHS Northeast London ICB.
