The UK Government's NHS dentistry recovery plan is facing scrutiny as key promises unravel. Labour MPs criticize the plan, calling for a general election to reform NHS dentistry. A pledge for 2.5 million new NHS appointments is questioned by Dentistry Minister Andrea Leadsom, casting doubt on the plan's reliability.
The Government plan on the NHS dental crisis promised 2.5 million new appointments. Yesterday the Minister responsible told me that promise had “quite a high likelihood of not being reliable” Extraordinary admission! We need proper reform @TheBDA https://t.co/b776jqvW2h
🚨A key pledge of @RishiSunak’s NHS Dentistry Recovery Plan - 2.5 million more NHS appointments - just completely UNRAVELED after Dentistry minister Andrea Leadsom was asked to explain how the Government came up with its figure Watch in disbelief! https://t.co/jvBT823jRl
This is what happens when the Government is sinking. They throw out policies & pledges that aren’t reliable to try & cling on to some seats. It is shameful. We’ve had enough. We need a #GeneralElectionNow so @UKLabour can deliver the rescue package NHS dentistry deserves. https://t.co/oKMsGRfUTz
The Government's so-called "recovery plan" for dentistry is already falling apart. This government is out of ideas and out of time. Only @UKLabour will be able to rescue NHS dentistry and reform it for the long run. https://t.co/IpaK8BpK6Q
Today we are in Westminster. Dentists and patients. All failed by a broken system. Tomorrow the Government will be held to account on NHS dentistry. Their broken promises are hurting millions. https://t.co/2FfPt0VagG https://t.co/J5aWjn5Q62
