Dental Services: City of Durham
(asked on 20th November 2023) - View Source
Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what the average waiting time was for registering with an NHS dentist in City of Durham constituency in the latest period for which data is available.
This question was answered on 23rd November 2023
Patients do not routinely join National Health Service dental waiting lists and are only registered with a dental practice for a course of treatment. We are working on our Dentistry Recovery Plan which will address how we continue to improve access, particularly for new patients; and how we make NHS work more attractive to ensure NHS dentists are incentivised to deliver more NHS care.
