Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what recent consideration he has made of the adequacy of the dental contract; and whether he plans to make reforms to that contract.

NHS England and NHS Improvement are leading on reforms to the current dental contract, working closely with the Department and the British Dental Association. The reforms aim to improve patient access, reduce health inequalities and make working for the National Health Service more attractive for dentists and their teams.
