(asked on 27th January 2023) - View Source
Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what steps he is taking to improve retention of dentists in the NHS.
This question was answered on 6th February 2023
Last year, NHS England negotiated amendments to the National Health Service dental contract with the British Dental Association and other stakeholders. These improvements, which came into effect in November 2022 and are supported by the sector, will ensure dentists are more fairly remunerated for the delivery of NHS care and making NHS dentistry a more attractive place to work and improve access for patients.
Further reforms are planned in 2023.
