Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Paul Burstow and Marcus Jones

Tuesday 22nd November 2011 Commons Chamber

[Paul Burstow]

I refer the hon. Lady to the answer that I just gave. The vision for commissioning dental services sees dental local professional networks developing and delivering local services and local quality improvement strategies. Beyond that, it involves local health and wellbeing boards working together closely, involving local clinicians through the networks that I referred to earlier. The answer is that local dental clinicians will be fully involved in the ways that I have just described.
