Dentists to get ‘cash for new patients’ under plans to boost services
Dentists are to get cash for new patients under plans to boost dentistry across England.
Around a million people who have not seen a dentist for two or more years are expected to benefit as officials offer a “new patient payment” of £15 to £50.
The plans, which are expected to boost dental appointments across the country by 2.5 million next year, will also see patients able to view which local dentists are accepting new NHS patients at the touch of a button.
