This Thursday top officials from @NHSEngland & @DHSCgovuk will be grilled by @CommonsPAC on NHS dentistry. The crisis millions now face is not inevitable. The failed contracts & underfunding fuelling it are political choices.👇
NHS dentistry is under pressure - patients & dental teams deserve better. It was a pleasure to also meet NHS dentists Rosie & Emilie yesterday - a mum & daughter NHS team - to show me round their amazing practice in London & talk about how we make NHS dentistry fit for the future

Congratulations to new GDPC chair @ShivPabary, Vice Chairs @joehendron1 and Vijay Sudra, and his Exec team Agi Tarnowski, Mark Green, Charlie Daniels & Don McGrath (who missed the pics!)
A singular honour to pick up the baton from @ShawnCharlwood, at a make or break moment for NHS dentistry. My first priority is to reach out to dentists. The system we work to is broken. We want negotiations to start immediately & urgently need your feedback from the frontline.

Indica is a veteran. Served 3 tours in Afghanistan & Iraq. He hasn’t been able to secure NHS dental care since leaving the forces 16 years ago. He turned up before dawn to queue for 6 hours in the cold outside a practice offering new places. It shouldn’t have to be this way.

“@WesStreeting says he wants to take the NHS ‘back to basics’,” says @ShawnCharlwood “Ending scenes that belong outside bakeries in the Soviet bloc would be a good start.” “Making promises won’t restore access to millions.” “Only action will.” 👇
