As I've said many times in this Chamber, we will need to change the way that we deliver primary care. Single and double-handed practices, their ability to deliver the sort of range of services that we need, that's part of the reason we introduced clusters to help GP practices to work together with the wider primary care team to deliver a more sustainable way of delivering care.

Primary care will change and it should do to meet the legitimate expectations of the public and, actually, the agenda for health and care provided in the parliamentary review and in 'A Healthier Wales', and it includes dentistry, of course. More than 40,000 NHS patients regularly receive NHS dental care compared to five years ago. We're witnessing the highest ever level of child access to general dental practice, and that does not yet include children accessing the community dental services. We've also seen a reduction in children having general anaesthetics. Our reform agenda should help further to improve access, as we've previously discussed in this Chamber.

But it's not all, of course, about money or systems—it's about people and making sure we have the workforce to meet our needs. So, I'm delighted that this year we have once again overfilled our GP training places against an increased target. I increased the quota for GP training places from 136 to 160, but we have 186 places filled, the highest number of recruits into GP training ever in the history of Wales, and every single GP training scheme in every part of the country has been filled. That's part of our 'Train. Work. Live.' initiative.

While GP training incentives have helped us to meet our recruitment targets, it is an area where some of that recruitment has been historically difficult. There are, of course, challenges, and there will always be specific local issues to address. However, we do know what those challenges are. We have a vision for what we want to do, and we have a plan to achieve it. And more than that, we're taking action. We should be proud of the progress that we are making and delivering.  

For my part, I recognise that there is always more to do and I am far from complacent about the challenges that face us, but this is a Government that is determined to keep our promises to meet the challenges that we face, in improving access to primary care, and I look forward to having more good news to report to the Chamber exactly on that in the next 18 months.
