answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/02/2024 answer text <p>Patients in England are not registered with a National Health Service dental practice, although many NHS dental practices do tend to see patients regularly. There is no geographical restriction on which practice a patient may attend, allowing patients the choice of where they would like to receive a course of treatment.</p><p>Within the Lancashire and South Cumbria Integrated Care Board and as of 2023, 78% of people trying to get an NHS appointment in the last two years were successful, compared to 77% nationally. In the previous 24 months up to June 2023, around 558,000 adults were seen by an NHS dentist. This was 41% of the total population, matching the national average. In addition, in the previous 12 months up to June 2023, around 196,000 children were seen by an NHS dentist, representing 55% of the total population, above the national average of 53%.</p><p>Patients unable to access an urgent dental appointment directly through an NHS dental practice are advised to contact NHS 111 for assistance. NHS dentists are now required to update their NHS website profiles regularly, at least every 90 days, to ensure patients have access to up-to-date information on where they can access care.</p><p>The Dentistry Recovery Plan will make dental services faster, simpler and fairer for patients and will fund around 2.5 million additional appointments. The plan sets out a number of actions which will improve access for patients, by helping the sector to recover activity more quickly, addressing underlying issues and setting out the action needed for longer term reform of the system.</p> answering member constituency South Northamptonshire answering member printed Andrea Leadsom question first answered 14/02/2024 15:38:52 answering member 4117 label Biography information for Andrea Leadsom

This is equivalent to 65.2 dentists per 100,000.</p><p>NHS dentists are required to update their NHS website profiles regularly, at least every 90 days, to ensure patients have access to up-to-date information on where they can access care. Patients unable to access an urgent dental appointment directly through an NHS dental practice are advised to contact NHS 111 for assistance.</p><p>On 7 February 2024 we published Faster, simpler and fairer: our plan to recover and reform NHS dentistry. This plan sets out a number of actions which will improve access for patients by helping the sector to recover activity more quickly, addressing underlying issues, and setting out the action needed for longer term reform of the system. The Government is backing the plan with £200 million, and it includes the offer of additional payments to dental practices for each additional new patient requiring treatment. This will be rolled out from March this year, making it easier for patients to access NHS treatment.</p> answering member constituency South Northamptonshire answering member printed Andrea Leadsom question first answered 14/02/2024 15:38:06 answering member 4117 label Biography information for Andrea Leadsom

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/11/2023 answer text <p>Most types of childhood arthritis are known as juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA). Although the exact cause of JIA is unknown, the symptoms often improve as a child gets older, meaning they can lead a normal life. Services for children with arthritis are provided separately by specialist paediatric rheumatology teams under the umbrella of paediatric services.</p><p>NHS England has commissioned a Respond and Advise Clinical Reference Group for paediatric specialised rheumatology. As part of this, it has commissioned a service specification available at the following link:</p><p><a href="https://www.england.nhs.uk/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/e03-paedi-medi-rheum.pdf" target="_blank">https://www.england.nhs.uk/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/e03-paedi-medi-rheum.pdf</a></p><p>Service specifications are important in clearly defining the standards of care expected from organisations funded by NHS England to provide specialised care. The specifications have been developed by specialised clinicians, commissioners, expert patients and public health representatives to describe both core and developmental service standards.</p> answering member constituency South Northamptonshire answering member printed Andrea Leadsom question first answered 20/11/2023 17:11:40 answering member 4117 label Biography information for Andrea Leadsom
