I met with Eddie Crouch, Chair of the British Dental Association, to discuss the NHS dental crisis nationally, and locally.
Practices across Derbyshire Dales are closing their NHS lists, or going fully private, leaving many residents unable to access routine care.

It was great to welcome Tough Enough to Care to Parliament for a catch-up.
Tough Enough to Care is the fantastic men’s mental health charity based in Wirksworth. The group’s mission to break down the stigma around men opening up about mental health is life-changing and, in many cases, life-saving.
