Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether his Department plans to asses the availability of NHS Dentist appointments in England.
This question was answered on 18th June 2021
Early in 2021, NHS England made an assessment of the level of activity that could be safely delivered by dental practices. Whilst practices are limited by infection prevention and control measures, they have been asked to prioritise patients with urgent need or in vulnerable groups, followed by overdue routine treatment.
