NHS Dentistry

"First, I must congratulate my hon. Friend the Member for Waveney (Peter Aldous). This is the second time that I have heard him pronounce on NHS dentistry—I think he has done it more often than that—and he is becoming something of an expert. I wonder whether the British Dental Association …..."

Professional Medical Indemnity Insurance

"The Minister is absolutely right that every medical practitioner has to have indemnity. If a case arises in which there is a challenge to the clinician, if the indemnity is covered by a society that has discretion, and if that discretion is exercised, the cover that is insisted on by …..."

Access to NHS Dentistry

"Birmingham is an interesting case. Not all of Birmingham is fluoridated, so when a child arrives, dentists can tell which part of Birmingham they have come from. No cavities, no fillings—fluoridated. Fillings and cavities—non-fluoridated...."

NHS Dentistry: Bristol and the South-west

"I have an interest here, clearly, but why should dentists, or any profession, be forced to stay and practise in the area they trained? No other profession has that. It would be a very unfair liability and tie on the dentists...."

NHS Dentistry: Bristol and the South-west

"I listened with interest to the hon. Member for Bristol North West (Darren Jones). He mentioned the word “prevention”, but did not go into the prevention the Government are doing at the moment.

Written Question
Meningitis: Vaccination
Monday 13th December 2021

Asked by: Paul Beresford (Conservative - Mole Valley)

Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what steps is the Government is taking to restore routine meningococcal immunisation programmes following disruption caused by the covid-19 outbreak.

Answered by Maria Caulfield

The delivery of the MenACWY vaccine was interrupted by the closure of schools from 23 March 2020. Vaccine delivery was resumed as soon as possible and NHS England and NHS Improvement continue to ensure any students affected by this disruption have the opportunity to be vaccinated.

Vaccines against meningococcal B, given to children at one year old, were not paused during the pandemic. General practices continued to offer routine vaccination services, using social distancing and personal protective equipment. However, any child who did not receive their routine vaccinations during the pandemic remains eligible and general practitioners are able to provide the service to any child who has missed a vaccination.

"After the earlier debate, I think I must make it absolutely clear that I occasionally practise dentistry, and that that is relevant to some of the points I am making today.

The previous Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, some considerable time ago, set out a change of …..."
