Proceeding contribution from Sarah Gibson (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 5 November 2024. It occurred during Adjournment debate on NHS Dentistry: Rural Areas.


NHS Dentistry: Rural Areas

I agree that a timeline for reforming the dental contract is vital; that is what I am asking for. If we lose this opportunity and our NHS dentists leave the system, we will be in an increasingly difficult place. Across Wiltshire, for those not already registered with an NHS dentist, it is absolutely impossible to get one. There is not a single practice taking on NHS patients right across the unitary authority of Wiltshire, despite its size.
