Liberal Democrat — Glastonbury and Somerton

Speaking in the House of Commons on 5 November 2024

Debate

NHS Dentistry: Rural Areas

Contribution

My constituent in Ilton is now in debt because they had to take their son, who is eligible for free NHS dentistry, to a private dentist, as they could not find an NHS dentist in the whole of Somerset. Sadly, that comes as no surprise, given that four in 10 children in Somerset have not been able to see a dentist this past year. Does my hon. Friend agree that dentists need to be encouraged back into the NHS by reforming the broken NHS dental contract?
