answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 30/11/2023 answer text <p>In July 2022 we announced a package of reforms to improve access to NHS dentistry across England, which outlined the steps we are taking to meet oral health need and increase access to dental care across England. The changes that have been implemented include improvements to ensure dentists are remunerated more fairly for more complex work and the introduction of a minimum Units of Dental Activity value. NHS dental activity as measured by Courses of Treatments delivered has increased by 23% nationally between 2021/22 and 2022/23.</p><p>From 1 April 2023 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. ICBs are responsible for having local processes in place to identify areas of need and determine the priorities for investment and have access to regular data which will support them in their plans to improve access to NHS dentistry in their area.</p><p>The NHS Long Term Workforce Plan, published on 30 June 2023, sets out the steps the National Health Service and its partners need to take to deliver an NHS workforce that meets the changing needs of the population over the next 15 years. These include a 40% increase to dentistry undergraduate training places by 2031/32.</p><p>But we know we need to do more, and that there are some areas where access is particularly problematic. We are working on our Dentistry Recovery Plan which will address how we continue to improve access, particularly for new patients; and how we make NHS work more attractive to ensure NHS dentists are incentivised to deliver more NHS care.</p> answering member constituency South Northamptonshire answering member printed Andrea Leadsom question first answered 30/11/2023 12:53:59 answering member 4117 label Biography information for Andrea Leadsom

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/10/2022 answer text <p>The information requested on patient attendance at practices, which dental practices are currently accepting new patients and the funding of National Health Service dental services is not held in the format requested. Patients are registered with a practice for the duration of a course of treatment and can receive care from any practice with available appointments.</p><p>Data on the additional £50 million provided for NHS dental services in 2021/22 is not held in the format requested. However, there was expenditure of £629,148 in the South West region. Analysis of data on this additional funding shows that activity was targeted at lower income patients and those with urgent needs, although expenditure by local authority is not held centrally.</p><p>While regional data on the number of dentists delivering NHS care since 2011 is collected, this data shows information at the former strategic health authority level and does not show information by the current regional structure. The GP Patient Survey Dental Statistics from January and March 2022 shows that 78% of respondents rated their NHS dental experience as positive. The Dental Access Centre in Devon receives an average of 7,000 urgent dental calls a month or approximately 350 calls per day. No central assessment of the level of cases of people conducting their own dentistry procedures in England has been made.</p><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 Plymouth, Sutton and Devonport.</p> answering member constituency Colchester answering member printed Will Quince grouped question UIN 61335 61336 61337 61338 61339 61340 61341 61343 61344 61345 question first answered 18/10/2022 16:28:02 answering member 4423 label Biography information for Will Quince
