	answer text	<p>We expect to publish our Dental Recovery Plan shortly.</p><p>From 1 April, responsibility for commissioning primary care dentistry to meet the needs of the local population has been delegated to integrated care boards (ICBs) across England. ICBs are responsible for undertaking oral health needs assessments, identifying areas of need and determining the priorities for investment. Prior to delegation decisions being taken, NHS England undertook a comprehensive assessment process, ensuring ICBs were ready to take on commissioning responsibility for delegated functions.</p><p>NHS England has published an Assurance Framework which sets out its approach to providing assurance that commissioning functions are carried out safely and effectively by ICBs, and is providing active support to all ICBs during the transition period.</p>
