Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what progress he has made on reviewing the dental contract.

NHS England and NHS Improvement are developing proposals for dental system reform, working closely with the Department and key stakeholders. Meetings of the Technical and Advisory Groups have been held, alongside a number of focus groups to inform the process.

However, any proposed contractual changes must be negotiated with the British Dental Association and may involve legislative changes in due course.
