<p>In September, we announced ‘Our plan for patients’, which outlines how we will
meet oral health needs and increase access to dental care, including in the City of
Durham.</p><p> </p><p>On 25 November 2022, the Department introduced legislation to
amend the National Health Service dental contract to incentivise dentists to deliver
care to high needs patients through fairer remuneration. The legislation requires
NHS dentists to update their NHS.UK profiles more frequently to ensure patients can
access accurate information on the services available. The Department will enable
NHS England’s commissioners to more flexibly commission additional care for patients
where this can be delivered by NHS dental teams.</p>
