“To ask the right hon. Member for Meriden, representing the Church Commissioners, what support the Church of England is providing to the Dean of Christ Church cathedral Oxford in the case brought against him by Christ Church college.”
Answering Minister
the Honourable Member for Meriden, representing the Church Commissioners
Answer from Hansard
The Minister for Care (Stephen Kinnock)
We inherited a broken NHS dental system in which many people were unable to access a dentist when they need one, including in my hon. Friend’s constituency, but we are making real progress, having increased the number of NHS treatments by 1.8 million between April and October 2025 compared with the same period before the general election. As a result of this nationwide increase, I am pleased to report that 89,000 more NHS dental treatments were delivered between April and October last year in the Lancashire and South Cumbria integrated care board area, which of course includes my hon. Friend’s constituency.
