Part of the debate – in the Senedd at 4:58 pm on 14 March 2023.
I am going to refer in my very last seconds, Deputy Presiding Officer, to the last statement from the Minister.
'In closing, to reassure Members that dentistry is one of my top priorities, I want to develop an NHS dental service in Wales that is fair for dentists'— it clearly isn't; they are leaving in droves—
'delivers for the risk and needs of the population'— clearly, it's not doing that—
'underpinned by prevention principles'— dentists are screaming to be able to work in a preventative way—
'which will enable everyone to take responsibility for their own oral health.'
Well, I agree with the Minister on that, because that's all that people can do currently.
