Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what assessment her Department has made of the current level of out-of-hours dental care provision in South Shropshire.

No assessment has been made by the Department.

Responsibility for commissioning National Health Service dental services, including urgent and out-of-hours dental care, sits with integrated care boards (ICBs). For the South Shropshire constituency, this is the Shropshire, Telford, and Wrekin ICB. Further information on the ICB’s urgent dental care services can be found at the following link:
