Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what assessment he has made of the effect of the shortage of face masks on dental practices.
This question was answered on 25th March 2020
We are aware of the interruption to the supply chain of personal protective equipment, in particular face masks for the safe delivery of dental care.
We have been working with the four main dental wholesalers. Face masks have been released from the pandemic flu stock to relieve some of the current pressure and stock is available.
