The National Audit Office (NAO) has released an investigation into the NHS Dental Recovery Plan, pinpointing major challenges and progress in enhancing dental services in England, particularly underlining the acute struggles faced by rural areas
The NHS recently unveiled its Dental Recovery Plan, a comprehensive strategy aimed at addressing the longstanding issues plaguing the NHS dental service. This initiative, backed by a £200 million investment, promises to revolutionise access to dental care across England, with a particular focus on enhancing services in rural areas and for underserved communities
A debate in the House of Commons on 9th January raised concerns over the lack of NHS dentists available
A review has been launched after a BBC investigation found nine in 10 NHS dental practices across the UK were not accepting new adult patients
The LGA, which represents over 350 councils in England and Wales, is calling on the Government to address shortages in NHS dentists urgently or risk more people requiring costly emergency dental treatment further down the line
The Rural Services Network has used the figures found in the BBC investigation to explore whether the impact of lack of access to dentistry is more acute in rural areas
The Association of Dental Groups (ADG) has published a report highlighting that “dental deserts” are emerging across England after more than 2,000 dentists quit the NHS last year, leaving millions of people struggling to get check-ups or have toothaches fixed
