NHS DENTAL CARE

That this House deplores the practice of rationing NHS dental health care by primary care trusts by stopping treatment when funding allocation has been used in any year; notes with concern that resources and funding for dental health are not being allocated to meet demand; further notes that despite the assurances of patient choice in the NHS, taxpayers are increasingly limited in their choice of dental services; and calls on the Government to allocate resources according to demand and allow patients to choose their dentist.
