Your help has been extremely influential in raising the issues politically albeit the politicians all tell me their email boxes are full of nhs dental issues more than many other problems This is not difficult to resolve with fractions of nhs spend Thank you @thebda.bsky.social
"I’m determined to rebuild NHS dentistry” says Keir Starmer
For that to happen we need sustainable funding.
Yesterday I joined @thebda.bsky.social in delivering a petition backed by 120,000 people to the PM and Health Secretary.
Progress will hinge on whether they listen

Lovely to catch-up with @simonforstroud.bsky.social just now.
As a GP, he gets the pressures primary care professionals are facing.
Thank you for your ongoing support in pressing for urgent reform and investment into NHS dentistry.

Great to sit down with @johnmilnehorsham.bsky.social to highlight how underfunding is pushing NHS dentistry to breaking point. Dentists want to provide NHS care, but the system makes it unsustainable. For the sake of our patients, this must change.

Thank you @clivejonesmp.bsky.social for your time and support in our fight to make NHS dentistry available to all those who need it. Too many people are left without access to essential care because the system is broken. @thebda.bsky.social

Started off a busy day at @LibDems.org.uk speaking at a panel on the cost of accessing dentistry for patients with chronic conditions.
I argued that unless and until we reform and properly fund NHS dentistry, discussions about cost will unfortunately remain, for too many people, purely academic.

Lovely to speak to @rachelgilmourld.bsky.social about delays in rolling out extra urgent appointments & the need for more urgency in overhauling the failed NHS dental contract.
Thanks for continuing to fight for the change your constituents - and millions of others - desperately need.

"By 2035, the NHS dental system will be transformed."
That's the promise in the NHS 10 Year Plan.
Ministers have pledged to begin work this year fixing a failed contract.
They've made the right diagnosis.
But we can’t wait a decade for them to write the prescription.
