14 Jul 2026 Access to NHS Dental Services

14 Jul 2026 Support for Pig Farmers
I congratulate the Minister on the meeting he will have tomorrow and his offer to engage. I gently press him on reaching out. He has made it clear that he does not think that the current situation matches that of 2021. I accept that, but c…
