Dental Services: Coronavirus
- Question
-
To ask Her Majesty's Government what plans they have to increase the NHS dental budget to mitigate any effects resulting from the reduction in routine dental care during the COVID-19 pandemic.
- Answer
-
National Health Service dentists have been receiving their full funding with minor adjustments throughout the COVID-19 period. They are now open for face to face including routine care and are restarting services in line with the increased infection control required to minimise the risk of transmission. NHS England and NHS Improvement are carefully considering any impact this may have on the overall provision of primary care dental services.
