The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what the (a) average and (b) maximum wait is for a special care adult to have dental treatment under general anaesthetic in the Community Dental Service for which the latest data is available.

Answered by Department of Health and Social Care

Further to the answer of 9 July to Question 16108, NHS England is currently completing quality assurance for the new waiting list data, in order to ensure that the information is accurate, complete, and suitable for sharing with providers and commissioners. Once those issues have been resolved, the data will be prepared for publication.
