NHS England has a legal duty to commission National Health Service dental services to meet the needs of the local population and to help patients who cannot find a local dentist.<\/p>
<\/strong><\/p>Nationally, access to NHS primary care dental services remains high. In the 24 month period ending 30 June 2018, 22.1 million adults were seen by an NHS dentist and in the 12 month period ending 30 June 2018, 6.9 million children were seen by an NHS dentist.<\/p>
<\/p>
The January to March 2017 general practitioner patient survey results were published in July 2018. These showed that 59% of adults questioned had tried to get an NHS dental appointment in the past two years and of those trying to get an appointment, 93% were successful.<\/p>
<\/p>
Access has improved greatly over recent years but we know inequalities remain.<\/p>
<\/p>
The Department and NHS England are continuing to test a new way of providing NHS dental services which aims to further improve oral health and increase access. NHS England\u2019s Starting Well programme is also aiming to improve access for young children, most at risk of tooth decay, who are not currently under the care of a dentist.<\/p>
<\/p>
In respect of the quality of NHS dental services the Care Quality Commission inspects NHS dental practices against set standards and the General Dental Council is responsible for individuals\u2019 professional standards. In addition to this the dental contract reform programme is testing a Dental Quality and Outcomes Framework which will be used to drive standards up even further.<\/p>"}

Public Health England (PHE) provides flu vaccines centrally for the children\u2019s flu programme so that eligible children are offered either the nasal spray Fluenz Tetra or an inactivated flu vaccine for those children for whom Fluenz Tetra is unsuitable. Centrally purchased flu vaccines are carefully monitored by PHE to ensure there is equitable distribution across England and sufficient in-date vaccine for patients who present throughout the season.<\/p>
<\/p>
General practitioners and other providers are directly responsible for the flu vaccine supplies used to deliver the national flu programme to the other eligible groups.<\/p>
<\/p>
Information on who is eligible is available at the following link:<\/p>
<\/p>
www.nhs.uk/Conditions/vaccinations/Pages/who-should-have-flu-vaccine.aspx<\/a><\/p> <\/p>
PHE maintains some oversight to help facilitate a constant supply of vaccine, liaising with vaccine manufacturers to ascertain whether there are any manufacturing problems which could impact the running of the programme at a national level.<\/p>"}
