The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what estimate he had made of the number of additional urgent dental appointments there will be in Lincolnshire in each of the next four years.

Answered by Stephen Kinnock

The Government is committed to tackling the challenges for patients trying to access National Health Service dental care. We are working to ensure that patients can start to access the 700,000 additional urgent dental appointments as soon as possible, targeting the areas that need them most, including Lincolnshire.

We will set out further information on this commitment, including how this will be measured, in due course.
