Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what estimate he has made of the number of people seeking access to NHS dental services in Dorset in (a) 2021, (b) 2020 and (c) 2019.
No such estimate has been made. Patients are not required to register with a practice to receive National Health Service dental services and therefore no waiting list data is held for NHS dentistry.
