QNR – in the Senedd on 16 February 2022.
We continue to implement a safe, phased, re-establishment of NHS dental services. Practices are prioritising care according to need and are treating urgent cases and people who are experiencing problems first. In addition, measures are in place for dental practices providing NHS care to see new patients each week.
We are committed to undergraduate medical education in north Wales and are working towards this commitment. We have increased medical student places across Wales, to 25 in September 2021 and 40 in September 2022 on the C21 north Wales programme, and an extra 25 places on the graduate entry programme in Swansea from September 2021.
From April, every community pharmacy in Wales will be able to provide the new clinical community pharmacy service. This will increase availability of an extended range of clinical services from all pharmacies and support efforts to improve access and promote the appropriate use of NHS services.
