<p>We will offer Golden Hellos of £20,000 to up to 240 dentists who join existing
National Health Service practices, in areas where recruitment is particularly challenging.
Golden Hello payments will be phased over three years, and require a commitment to
stay in that area delivering NHS work for at least three years.</p><p>We will also
be deploying dental vans offering appointments to patients in need, including targeted
rural and coastal communities who have the most limited access to dentistry, starting
later this year. We are working with NHS England and the integrated care boards on
the precise nature of the contracting and payment model for dental vans.</p>
