Stephen Kinnock

Labour — Aberafan Maesteg

Speaking in the House of Commons on 15 October 2024

Debate

NHS Dental Contracting Framework

Contribution

My hon. Friend is right. South Yorkshire has the highest level of hospital tooth extractions in England, and I want to assure him that we will target interventions at the areas of greatest need. For example, integrated care boards have started to advertise roles through our “golden hello” scheme, which will drive recruitment of graduate dentists to areas of greatest need for three years. We have inherited a mess and we are working at pace to clear it up.
