The Big Dental Check-up
The plain and simple fact is it isn’t currently easy to find an NHS dentist in Halton accepting new patients.
Our report highlights just some of the issues local people have been facing while trying to access NHS dental treatment.
Healthwatch England has called on the Government and NHS England to speed up dental contract reform and provide significant and sustained funding to tackle the underlying dual problems of dental access and affordability. We support this call, as currently NHS dentistry is neither accessible nor affordable for everyone. But it should be!
‘The online system is an absolute joke. Needless to say, after spending 18 months ringing around every single one in Halton there are no spaces, nor can I get on a waiting list.’
