The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether he plans to allow patients to access NHS dental care through the NHS App.

Answered by Stephen Kinnock

The Government currently has no plans to enable patients to access NHS dental care through the NHS App. However, NHS England routinely seeks opportunities to expand the functionality of the NHS App, and progress on including dental bookings in the functionality will depend on digital readiness and wider service commissioning provisions.
