Dental Services: Carers

Thursday 10th June 2021

Asked by: Damien Moore (Conservative - Southport)

Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what steps his Department is taking to ensure carers are prioritised for NHS dental care.

Answered by Jo Churchill - Minister of State (Department for Work and Pensions)

National Health Service dentists have been asked to maximise safe throughput, focusing first on those in greatest clinical need, then care for vulnerable groups, followed by overdue appointments. Where carers meet these criteria they will be prioritised for NHS dental care.
