The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, how many dentists have been recruited under the dental recruitment incentive scheme in Gloucester.

Answered by Stephen Kinnock

Within the NHS Gloucestershire Integrated Care Board (ICB), seven dentists have been recruited under the dental recruitment incentive scheme. ICBs continue to work with practices in their area to support recruitment to these posts.

This recruitment incentive will see up to 240 dentists receiving payments of £20,000 to work in those areas that need them most for three years.
