What work is the Welsh Government undertaking to review access to dentistry in Wales since new changes were brought in via the new NHS dentistry contract in April 2026?

Atebwyd gan Cabinet Minister for Health and Care (Mabon ap Gwynfor)
As with any major reform full impact will take time to assess. We are confident though that the new contract arrangements are delivering more preventative care and NHS capacity is being directed towards those who need it most.
A contract monitoring and evaluation group has been established which includes representatives from Welsh Government, Health Boards and the Welsh General Dental Practice Committee. We will continue working closely with these stakeholders to monitor progress, so any lessons are learnt and improvements implemented for the benefit of patients and the dental profession.
