Question
To ask the Scottish Government what action it is taking to ensure that people in every community can access NHS dentistry.
Answer
We have a record number of people registered with a NHS dentist, more than 95% of the population of Scotland.
We intend to build on this success story which is why as part of this Government’s Manifesto Commitment, all NHS dental charges will be removed in the lifetime of this Parliament.
