Recommendation 19
19
Acknowledged
Paragraph: 90
Absence of dental contract in Workforce Plan reflects lack of priority for reform.
Conclusion
We are concerned that the absence of explicit mention of the dental contract in the Long Term Workforce Plan reflects the lack of priority given by the Government and NHS England to contract reform. We believe it indicates a lack of recognition of the urgent need for reform before any other workforce initiatives can be implemented.
