2 mins read Communication/patient education
In advance of the Health and Social Care Select Committee’s scheduled panel enquiry on March 19, 2024, the British Society of Paediatric Dentistry’s (BSPD) president, Paula Waterhouse, has written to each of the 11 committee members, including the chair, Steve Brine. She laid out questions that should be put to the panel.

Including the society’s recently issued ‘Blueprint’ for paediatric dental recovery, Paula Waterhouse said, “BSPD has high expectations of the enquiry since the crisis in dentistry is now a matter of urgency. What is needed is a serious plan that demands measurable outcomes, to grip the immediate crisis and set NHS dentistry on the path to recovery in the long-term.”

The open letter issued to each member of the Health & Social Care Committee reads as follows:

Dear Steve Brine MP,

I write to you as the president of the British Society of Paediatric Dentistry (BSPD) regarding the government’s dental recovery plan - and in light of the Health and Social Care Select Committee’s scheduled panel enquiry on March 19.
