Dental Services: Knowsley
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, how many (a) children and (b) adults are registered with an NHS dentist in Knowsley constituency.
Answered by Stephen Kinnock
Patients in England are not registered with a National Health Service dental practice, although many NHS dental practices do tend to see patients regularly. There is no geographical restriction on which practice a patient may attend. Some dental practices may operate local waiting list arrangements.
NHS dentists are required to keep their NHS.UK website profiles up to date so that patients can find a dentist more easily. This includes information on whether they are accepting new patients. Further information is available at the following link:
