‘NHS dentistry is broken’

PAC chairman Sir Geoffrey Clifton-Brown mentioned: “It’s totally disgraceful that, within the twenty first century, some Britons have been pressured to take away their very own tooth.

“Final 12 months’s Dental Restoration Plan was supposed to deal with these issues, one thing our report has discovered it has signally did not do.

“Almost unbelievably, the government’s initiatives appear to have actually resulted in worsening the picture, with fewer new patients seen since the plan’s introduction.”

He added: “NHS dentistry is damaged. The federal government may hardly fail to agree on this level, and certainly I’m glad that it isn’t in denial that the time for tinkering on the edges is over.

“It is time for big decisions.”

A Division of Well being and Social Care spokesperson mentioned the Labour authorities “inherited a broken NHS dental sector” and was fixing it via its Plan for Change.
