The question

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

Answered by Stephen Kinnock

The application process for the dental recruitment incentive scheme is in progress and remains open until the end of March 2025. The Lincolnshire Integrated Care Board continues to work with dental practices whose applications for funding have been successful and has provided funding locally for seven posts in addition to the four places available through the incentive scheme. This recruitment incentive will see up to 240 dentists across England receiving payments of £20,000 to work in those areas that need them most for three years.
