The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, how many additional dentistry appointments have been created since 4 July 2024.

Answered by Stephen Kinnock

Data on the number of additional urgent dental appointments created since 4 July 2024 is not yet available. We are working with NHS England, the NHS Business Services Authority, and the integrated care boards to define what data will need to be collected in order to set baselines, as well as for ongoing reporting and monitoring.
