Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, how many constituents in Ellesmere Port and Neston constituency have been deregistered by dental practices each year since 2021.
The information requested is not available. Unlike general practitioners' patients, dental patients are not registered to a particular practice. A dental practice can accept a patient for a course of treatment if they have capacity to deliver that treatment. There are no geographical restrictions on which dental practice a patient may attend, allowing patients the choice of where they receive treatment.
