The British Dental Association has responded to news that government intends to publish a ‘dental recovery plan.’
The BDA understands the plan is in its very early stages. It has been announced less just hours before the Department of Health and NHS England are set to defend the government record on NHS dentistry to a Health and Social Care Committee inquiry.
Shawn Charlwood, Chair of the British Dental Association’s General Dental Practice Committee said: “This reeks of desperation. Ministers, set to be hauled over the coals on their record on NHS dentistry, aren’t even pulling rabbits out of hats. They’re just talking about it.”
