What steps is the Welsh Government taking to inform people how they can sign up for dental care in their area, following the introduction of the Dental Access Portal?
Answered by Cabinet Secretary for Health and Social Care | Answered on 23/07/2025
The Dental Access Portal was launched with a press notice when it went live across all health boards on 12 February 2025. Information is also available on the Welsh Government website on the following link: https://www.gov.wales/accessing-nhs-dental-services
Health Boards are responsible for the provision of NHS dental services in their local areas and will therefore make their own arrangements to advertise details of how to access the portal on their websites and in dental practices.
