PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
Dental Services: Protective Clothing (15 July 2020)

Question Asked

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what steps his Department is taking to ensure dental practices have an adequate supply of personal protective equipment.

Asked by:
Judith Cummins (Labour)

Answer

From Monday 8 June all National Health Service practices were able to start, at their own pace, seeing patients again once they have appropriate social distancing and other safety measures in place. Personal protective equipment for dentists is being made available through their business as usual wholesalers. We have also set up new distribution routes for dentistry to ensure continuity of supply for all urgent dental care centres and have placed them on the list of priority areas to receive supplies from local resilience forums.
