Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether it remains her policy to continue reforms to the 2006 dental contract.

As set out in Faster, simpler, fairer: our plan to recover and reform NHS dentistry, we are working on further reforms to the 2006 contract, in discussion with the dental profession, to properly reflect the care needed by different patients, and more fairly remunerate practices. We expect to develop options for consultation with the dental profession in advance of a further announcement later this year. Any changes would be phased in from 2025 onwards.
