Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what recent assessment he has made of the impact of the reforms to the NHS dental contract announced in July 2022; and whether they have resulted in the completion of more Units of Dental Activity for NHS work per month.
No assessments have been made given that data for 2022/23 is not yet published.
Further reforms are planned for this year, along with our commitment to publishing a workforce plan in 2023 that will include dental professionals.
