Will the Minister make a statement on dentists taking on new NHS patients in the Cwm Taf Morgannwg University Health Board area?
Answered by Minister for Health and Social Services | Answered on 05/08/2021
We are making good progress with the recovery of dental services but dentistry is one of the most complex areas of primary care in terms of the reinstatement of services.
We have worked with Health Boards to ensure that as part of the recovery of dental services, measures are included for all dental practices providing NHS care see new patients each week. Cwm Taf Morgannwg University Health Board advise that between April and June 2021 9,435 new patients received NHS dental care.
