§ Ms Rosie WintertonWe are currently undertaking the first review of the dental workforce since 1987 in consultation with the dental profession—professional bodies, dental academics, as well as the British Dental Association. We hope to publish the review by the end of this year. The findings of this review will enable us to consider both the number of dentists and the location of their training in England.
