Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask His Majesty's Government how many missed dental appointments there have been in each of the past five years.
Whilst the Department does not hold this information in the format requested, data is recorded on dental activity that has occurred. For example, the Department holds data on the number of Units of Dental Activity commissioned and delivered each month on the NHS Business Services Authority Open Data Portal in an online-only format. The portal currently holds data from April 2016 to November 2023.
