Dental Services: Surrey

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what steps his Department is taking to help improve underperforming NHS dental contract holders in Surrey.

Answer

The Government wants to ensure that every penny we allocate for dentistry is spent on dentistry, and that the ringfenced dental budget is spent on the patients who need it most.

Integrated care boards are responsible for commissioning primary care services, including National Health Service dentistry, to meet the needs of the local populations and to determine the priorities for investment.
