To ask the Scottish Government what assessment it has made of the impact on families on low incomes of an inability to access NHS dental treatment.
This Government has already introduced free dental care for young people between 18 and 25 years of age. We have also made a commitment to abolish all NHS dental charges in the lifetime of this parliament.
We continue to support Health Boards to deliver NHS dental services and have put in place additional recruitment and retention incentives in rural and remote areas.
