Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, if his Department will make an assessment of the potential merits of providing free dental care to all cancer patients.
We have no current plans to make a specific assessment.
There are a range of exemptions to National Health Service dental patient charges. Further information is available on the NHS website at the following link:
