<p>There have been no specific discussions.</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 North East London.</p><p>The plan includes improvements
to ensure dentists are renumerated fairly for more complex work, allowing greater
flexibility to reallocate resources and to utilise dentists with greater capacity
to deliver National Health Service treatment, whilst enabling full use of the dental
team. The plan also includes streamlining processes for overseas dentists and holding
the local NHS to account for dentistry provision. In addition, Health Education England
is also reforming dental education to improve the recruitment and retention of dental
professionals.</p>
