Question:
To ask the Minister of Health for an update on the development of investment proposals to further support general dental services.

Answer:

I am currently considering investment proposals to further support General Dental Services into 2024/25, which will be shared with the British Dental Association in due course.

While the arguments for investment into General Dental Services are strong, the fiscal situation continuing into the coming financial year remains uncertain. It is likely that our budget will constrain the options available, and decisions must be made with this in mind.
