Accepted
Paragraph: 79
Advancing Dental Care Review shows potential but immediate incentives needed for supply and demand.
Conclusion
We support the implementation of the work of the Advancing Dental Care Review. Centres for Dental Development could have the potential to change how we approach training dentists in the UK to meet the needs of the populations who most require care. However, these are in their early stages and their outputs will need to be assessed. We also recognise that incentives are required in the short-term to address the immediate challenges with supply and demand.
