Well, on dentistry, we know that they've had to close down, apart from emergency procedures, but if they're undertaking NHS contract work then the PPE guidance should apply. If there are specific instances for me to address then I'd appreciate it if the Member, or others, could provide me with those details, because I haven't had a sector-wide issue across dentistry brought to me in the past. But, as ever, I'm always happy to look at the evidence of what is taking place on the ground and even on an individual level to see what we could and should do to resolve that. But, obviously, I'd expect that Members, in representing constituents, would first have contacted their local health board to understand how supplies of PPE are being managed right across the health sector.
