Healthwatch Herefordshire was commissioned by NHS England and NHS Improvement to undertake patient engagement to inform future plans for dental services in Hereford. They undertook a survey to which 675 people responded and 18 people attended focus groups.
The main issues raised were:

- Parking
- Flexibility of appointments
- The particular problems of members of the armed forces and their families in accessing NHS dentistry
The report contains six recommendations to tackle these problems.
