Summary of report content

Healthwatch Bradford, Healthwatch Calderdale, Healthwatch Kirklees, Healthwatch Leeds and Healthwatch Wakefield outline issues with access to NHS dentistry in West Yorkshire over the past ten years.

The report highlights that the issue particularly impacts on people living in the most deprived areas of West Yorkshire, on children and people who face the greatest challenge in accessing NHS dentistry.

It also raises concern about the cost bands for treatment.

The report concludes with a timeline of Healthwatch work on access to dentistry since 2013 and three recommendations to improve access to NHS dentistry.
