question text	Her Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of (1) the number of available appointments in dental surgeries given shortages in personal protective equipment, the requirement to follow social distancing measures and reduced public confidence, and (2) the impact on dental health of reductions in dental services following the Covid-19 pandemic.

uin	HL5597
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/07/2020 answer text <p>No data is collected centrally on the number of available National Health Service appointments in dental practices. Routine dental care has been restarted but safety of clinicians and patients is the priority. As with almost all areas of healthcare the infection prevention and control requirements of the pandemic period mean that at least initially dentists will be able to deliver fewer treatments per day. NHS England and NHS Improvement has been clear that dentists should only increase service as fast as is compatible with maximising safety.</p><p>Most high street dentists purchase personal protective equipment (PPE) via dental wholesalers which supply a range of equipment needed by dentists including PPE. During the COVID-19 pandemic the Government is working closely with industry, the National Health Service, social care providers and the army to ensure that PPE is delivered to those who need it. Our priority is ensuring the safety of patients and all health care workers, including dentists. This includes supporting dental wholesalers to stock the equipment needed by general dental practice to safely support practices to restart face to face dental care.</p><p> </p><p>NHS England and NHS Improvement took steps to minimise any impact of the suspension of routine dentistry at the peak of the pandemic by setting up urgent dental centres to deliver treatment urgently needed. Urgent dental treatment has therefore been available throughout the pandemic period through the over 600 such centres set up. These centres continue to operate through the restart period ensuring that patients who need urgent treatment can receive it.</p> answering member printed Lord Bethell question first answered 07/07/2020 16:39:54 answering member 4708 label Biography information for Lord Bethell

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 29/06/2020 answer text <p>We understand that social distancing has been difficult for many, but especially those who currently live alone, or are the only adult in a household. We have amended COVID-19 social distancing regulations to allow a single adult household to form a support bubble with one other household. Groups of up to six people are still able to meet outdoors as long as they follow social distancing guidelines.</p><p>The Government made this change to support the loneliest and most isolated in society. It is a targeted intervention to provide extra support to some of those most impacted by the most difficult effects of the current social restrictions, while ensuring we continue to keep the rate of transmission low.</p> answering member printed Lord Bethell question first answered 29/06/2020 10:43:43 answering member 4708 label Biography information for Lord Bethell
