MPs demand ‘fundamental reform’ of NHS dentistry in new report

Members of Parliament today called for ‘rapid and timely action’ as they lay out their concerns over the future of NHS dentistry services in a new report.

Released today, the Health and Social Care Committee unveiled its ninth report into dentistry of the 2022-23 period.

It stated: ‘It is frustrating to have to return to recommendations made by our predecessor Committee fifteen years ago that still haven’t been implemented. Rarely has an inquiry been more necessary.’
