Dental Services: Lincolnshire
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what the average waiting time is to register with an NHS dentist in Lincolnshire.
Answered by Stephen Kinnock
Patients in England are not registered with a National Health Service 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 the South Holland and The Deepings constituency, this is the NHS Lincolnshire ICB.
