Access To Dentists

EDM number 2008 in 2006-07, proposed by Lindsay Hoyle on 25/07/2007.

That this House notes the difficulties residents in Chorley and other areas of the UK are having in gaining access to dentists taking NHS patients; recognises that the money has been made available from central government to increase the number of dentists accepting NHS patients but primary care trusts are not taking the necessary steps in using this money to improve access to dentists; and calls on Ministers to put pressure on primary care trusts in order to ensure that the money available is being spent on providing more dentists taking NHS patients within their respective local areas.

This motion has been signed by a total of 19 MPs.
