This country-wide ‘Recovery Plan’ will sit alongside our local action plan to improve access to NHS dentistry, for which Cambridge and Peterborough Integrated Care Board (ICB) secured £6.1m in funding.
New ways of delivering care in rural and coastal areas will be rolled out, including by launching ‘dental vans’ – with at least one of these vans coming to Cambridgeshire.
Amanda Pritchard, NHS chief executive, said, “Covid-19 has significantly impacted NHS dental care, and teams across the country are working hard to recover services and meet rising demand.
“Building on the reforms we have already implemented, the health service will now introduce a wide range of practical measures to help make it easier for people to see a dentist, from incentivising dentists to take on new patients to supporting dentists to be part of the NHS in areas where access is challenging.
