Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, how regularly the online NHS find a dentist tool is updated.
The National Health Service dental profiles are updated monthly. Dental practices can also update this information as necessary, which is then immediately available. Practices are encouraged to state whether they are accepting new patients at least every 90 days, as failure to do so results in the information being removed from the website.
