I am pleased to see that the Government has now published the dental recovery plan for England.
Amongst a range of measures, the plan outlines funding for:
We urgently need more NHS dentists in Norwich and the wider Norfolk region. This is a top priority for residents, and it will only increase with more homes being built to the north of Norwich.
I remain fully committed to supporting the University of East Anglia in its bid to develop an undergraduate dental school. The UEA is ideally placed to help make this a reality, and I urge the Government to confirm new dental undergraduate student places that would allow the UEA to get on with the job. It cannot wait any longer.
I will be studying the specifics of the plan to identify what my constituents of Norwich North can expect to benefit from and I will update my website as those details emerge.
