Accessing NHS Dental Care in Rutland in 2022

Healthwatch Rutland has been in the news this week as we highlighted delays both in creation of the local Dental Access Plan, and in securing a new provider to improve appointment availability in Rutland.

In April 2024 we had the opportunity to deliver a presentation to the Leicester, Leicestershire & Rutland (LLR) Women’s Institute (WI) on the theme of dentistry. Each year the National Federation of WIs chooses a resolution to call for change on a current issue in society. This year’s resolution is based around dentistry.

On 7 February 2024 the Government published a dental care recovery plan.
