Stephen Kinnock

Labour — Aberafan Maesteg

Speaking in the House of Commons on 1 April 2025

Debate

Access to Dentistry: Somerset

Contribution

We will absolutely ensure that integrated care boards are delivering to the target they have been set. If we see any evidence of slowing down or backsliding, we will certainly intervene to ensure that appointments are accelerated. I would also be more than happy to receive representations from my hon. Friend if he feels that performance in his ICB is not delivering. The state of NHS dentistry in Somerset, and the nation as a whole, is simply unacceptable and it has to change.
