<p>No specific assessment has been made. 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 Bootle.</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>
