The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what recent estimate he has made of the average waiting time for an adult NHS dental appointment in Great Yarmouth constituency.

Answered by Stephen Kinnock

Patients in England are not registered with a National Health Service dental practice, although many NHS dental practices do tend to see patients regularly. There is no geographical restriction on which practice a patient may attend. Some dental practices may operate local waiting list arrangements. Therefore, data on waiting times for NHS dental treatment is not held centrally.
