On 7 February, we published our Dentistry Recovery Plan to increase patients’ access to NHS dentistry across the country, including in Norfolk.
On 1 March, one element – the New Patient Premium went live, to increase the number of appointments available.
We will keep the House updated on this and the many other measures set out in the Plan, including our work to reform the dental contract in the longer term.
