To ask the Scottish Government what consideration it has given to the inclusion of dentistry within the MyCare.scot app roll-out.
A detailed stakeholder identification and mapping exercise is currently underway as part of NHS Education Scotland’s discovery work into onboarding primary care services into MyCare.scot.
As with other primary care services such as optometry and pharmacy, dentistry will come into consideration as part of that mapping process. However, given that dental practices operate independently and their IT systems are not connected to wider primary care systems detailed consideration is required to achieve their onboarding and integration.
