BRITAIN NHS DENTISTRY REFORM

UK government tries to fund more NHS dentists in England

epa11139804 An NHS dentist looks over a customer's x-rays at a National Health Service (NHS) dental clinic in London, Britain, 09 February 2024. Millions of people across Britain are struggling to obtain access to dental care. The UK government has announced its 200 million GBP NHS dentistry recovery plan, whereby dentists will be offered a 20,000 GBP payment for setting up a dental practice in areas with poor access to NHS dental care, and will receive higher payments for every patient they take on. Critics say the plan is underfunded and doesn't go far enough to help the millions of people without access to dental care, and is unlikely to prevent more NHS dentists from going private.
