Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, how much additional funding will be provided to integrated care boards through the dentistry recovery plan by area.

We currently invest more than £3 billion in National Health Service dental services each year. Our plan to recover and reform NHS dentistry is backed with £200 million, delivering new initiatives to address the challenges facing NHS dentistry.

The amount spent by each integrated care board (ICB) will depend on a number of factors, including how many new patients are seen in each ICB, whether any practices in the ICB will benefit from the increase to the minimum Unit of Dental Activity value, and where Golden Hello payments are offered.
