Dental Services
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, if he will make it his policy that newly qualified dentists deliver a minimum amount of NHS work after graduating.
Answered by Stephen Kinnock
We are determined to rebuild National Health Service dentistry, but it will take time and there are no quick fixes. Strengthening the workforce is key to our ambitions. The Department consulted on an NHS tie-in for graduate dentists last year, and we are considering the responses. The Government position on this proposal will be set out in due course.
