Minister, we hear from week to week about the increasing crisis facing dentistry here in Wales. Now, the British Dental Association, of course, has warned that services on the NHS could to all intents and purposes come to an end, because there are so many dentists who have either given up, or are about to give up, their NHS contracts. 

Now, Ruthin is the latest dental surgery to hear this week that they'll be losing access to NHS services, and, for transparency, I'm one of the patients who uses the dentist service there. We had a statement last week from the Minister for health on dentistry in Wales, but that has made me even more concerned about the future of the service, because it's clear that there is no understanding that there are three tiers of people using the service: first is those who can afford private treatment; second, those who can't but are succeeding in accessing NHS services; but there's a third tier, and that's growing on a weekly basis, and on a monthly basis, where there are people who can't afford to go private and also can't access NHS services. Now, out of the 10 dentist surgeries around Ruthin—but I'm also talking here about Wrexham, Mold and so on—only one is receiving NHS patients at the moment, and there's a waiting list of two years to be able to access those NHS services. 

So, can I invite the Government, and the Minister for health specifically, to try again with another statement, to prove to us that you as a Government are getting to grips with this issue, because it is a crisis, and, as far as I can see, you are not succeeding in dealing with it?
