To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what the average waiting time was to access Community Dental Services for (a) children (b) adults under the Harrogate and District NHS Foundation Trust area in each of the last 5 years.
Stephen Kinnock
Minister of State (Department of Health and Social Care)
Data on waiting times for National Health Service dental treatment is not held centrally so it is not possible to provide information for the Humber and North Yorkshire Integrated Care Board area.
Community Dental Services provide care to patients who may have difficulty accessing high street dental services due to their social, medical, or dental needs. This may include adults or children with learning disabilities, complex medical needs, physical disabilities, or challenging behaviour.

Secretary of State was originally the title given to the two officials who conducted the Royal Correspondence under Elizabeth I. Now it is the title held by some of the more important Government Ministers, for example the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs.
