Verbatim
“This has been the case for too long and too many people across our rural and coastal communities are struggling to access NHS dental care.”
“The Dental Desserts Tour is a light-hearted way of opening up a very serious conversation. Lincolnshire was the first area in the country deemed to be a 'dental desert'. This has been the case for too long and too many people across our rural and coastal communities are struggling to access NHS dental care. A dental school in Lincolnshire would not only improve access to care now, it would help create a long-term pipeline of dental professionals for the future.”
“their focus was on "recruiting as many local people as possible"”
