Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, if she will make an estimate of the number of (a) children, (b) women and (c) people affected by dental surgeries no longer providing NHS services in Kingswood constituency since 2022.
Answered by Andrea Leadsom
Our Dentistry Recovery Plan, backed by £200 million, will make dental services faster, simpler, and fairer for National Health Service dental patients across England. It will fund approximately 2.5 million additional appointments, or more than 1.5 million additional courses of dental treatment. Patients unable to access an urgent dental appointment directly through an NHS dental practice are advised to contact NHS 111 for assistance.
We are committed to evaluating the impacts of the measures included in our plan, and we will publish monthly data on progress once available. No estimates are currently available of the number of children, women, and people affected by dental surgeries no longer providing NHS services in the Kingswood constituency since 2022. Annual dental statistics, including the number of dentists offering NHS services since 2015, are available at the following link:

Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what the formal roles and responsibilities of NHS England’s Specialised Services Devices Programme (SSDP) are; whether the responsibilities of the SSDP have been expanded to include the evaluation and procurement of medical devices; and how his Department plans to regulate the evaluation and procurement of medical devices by the SSDP.
Answered by Karin Smyth - Minister of State (Department of Health and Social Care)
NHS England owns the Specialised Services Devices Programme (SSDP), a national purchase and supply system for specific categories of devices. The NHS Supply Chain provides procurement and legal compliance support for trusts with value for money tendering in the open market, in line with Public Procurement Regulations, and for putting in place fit for purpose local contracts. The published information on the roles and responsibilities of the SSDP, including evaluation and procurement, is available at the following link:
https://www.england.nhs.uk/commissioning/spec-services/key-docs/medical-devices/
The Department is undertaking several initiatives to address unwarranted price variation in medical device spend, including specialised services, such as: development of a national product information management system; reform of the listing process for community prescribed medical technology; commissioning the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence to undertake assessments of existing product categories; and the development of a methodology for value-based procurement. The Department will work with the SSDP to review any areas of unwarranted price variation for medical devices managed through the SSDP.
