To ask the Secretary of State for Health what steps he is taking to improve access to NHS dentistry.
Paul Burstow (Minister of State (Care Services), Health; Sutton and Cheam, Liberal Democrat)
Access has already grown by over three quarters of a million since May 2010, with 991,000 more patients able to see a national health service dentist. We announced last week an extra £28 million in year funding to increase this still further.
