Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what assessment he has made of the adequacy of orthodontic services in East Yorkshire; and what plans he has to increase the number of orthodontic appointments available to NHS patients.
No specific assessment has been made. National Health Service regional teams are responsible for assessing capacity and commissioning local dental services. The Department works with NHS England to monitor the delivery of commissioned levels of care in England.
