answer text <p>The Government plans to tackle the challenges patients face when trying to access National Health Service dental care with a rescue plan to provide 700,000 more urgent dental appointments and recruit new dentists to the areas that need them most. To rebuild dentistry in the long term and increase access to NHS dental care, we will reform the dental contract, with a shift to focus on prevention and the retention of NHS dentists.</p><p>From 1 April 2023, the responsibility for commissioning primary care dentistry to meet the needs of the local population has been delegated to all integrated care boards (ICBs) across England. The NHS Cheshire and Merseyside ICB is responsible for having local processes in place to identify areas of need, and determine the priorities for investment across the ICB area. NHS Dental Statistics, published by NHS Digital, provides data on dental activity in England. The latest annual report is available at the following link:</p><p><a href="https://digital.nhs.uk/data-and-information/publications/statistical/nhs-dental-statistics" target="_blank">https://digital.nhs.uk/data-and-information/publications/statistical/nhs-dental-statistics</a></p>

answer text <p>The Government is concerned by the condition of healthcare infrastructure at Halton Hospital, and across the National Health Service estate. We recognise that change is desperately needed to tackle unsuitable facilities, and to deliver an NHS that is fit for the future.</p><p>We recognise that strategic, value for money investments in capital projects are critical to providing good quality care. In line with the Government’s plans to deliver an NHS fit for the future, and as part of our internal Spending Review preparations, the Department is reviewing capital requirements. Timescales associated with the Spending Review are yet to be confirmed.</p><p>However, Warrington and Halton Hospitals have received funding through NHS England’s Targeted Investment Fund for the reconfiguration of theatres, wards, and the endoscopy unit, to deliver additional capacity and provide patients with the care they deserve.</p> more like this

answer text <p>Homelessness levels are far too high and too many families are living in temporary accommodation. We will take the action needed to tackle this issue and develop a long-term, cross-government strategy, through working with mayors, councils and other key stakeholders, to end homelessness for good. Critical to tackling homelessness is building more affordable homes. We will deliver the biggest increase in social and affordable housebuilding in a generation and deliver 1.5 million new homes over the next Parliament.</p> more like this
