The access crisis in NHS dentistry was made in Westminster. Choices made at the Treasury mean practices are now delivering NHS care at a loss. But no health professional can work this way. Join over 90,000 and say it's time for change. you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/fund…

Thank you Markus Campbell-Savours MP MP for underlining the urgent need for a new dental contract to stop the exodus of dentists from the NHS. Reform has been promised since 2010. We welcome these small, positive changes, but without fundamental reform there won't be a service left to save.

“Little tweaks here won’t make a difference” says Mark Green. “It needs a proper radical reform of the contract." And real reform must go hand in hand with fair funding. Sign here if you agree👇 you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/fund…

It was good to meet Shadow Health Secretary Stuart Andrew MP this afternoon. BDA We spoke about the lack of support for NHS dental practices following the national insurance hike and the impact this is having on the sector. Interesting to hear policy development starting

A pleasure to meet Ben Goldsborough MP MP in parliament today. Sadly, like many others across the country, his constituents in South Norfolk have lost hope in getting an NHS dental appointment. Our service needs fair funding and fundamental reform, urgently. BDA

Good to meet Minister for Care Stephen Kinnock this afternoon. Top of the agenda: fundamental reform of NHS dentistry. We all want to move forward, at pace. But after a generation of savage cuts to this service we need honesty about the difficult choices ahead. BDA

Great to be offering evidence yesterday alongside William Pett of Healthwatch England to the APPG for Health inquiry on improving improving access to primary care. 14m remain unable to access NHS dentistry. We can solve this problem, but it will require political will. BDA

NHS dentistry back on the agenda at #PMQs This service has ceased to exist for millions. Bringing it back from the brink will require real reform and sustainable funding. Thanks to Tom Rutland MP Tom Rutland MP for raising key questions.
