The consultation forms part of the Government’s Primary Care Recovery Plan.
Dental hygienists could be granted the power to administer certain medicines without the need for a prescription under plans to improve access to dentistry in England.
“Dental hygienists and therapists make a vital contribution to patient care, but there’s no army waiting in the wings to work under a broken NHS system. The Health and Social Care Committee’s examination called for “urgent and fundamental reform” and said there was evidence of pain and distress that is “totally unacceptable in the 21st century”.
The Government said progress is being made on the Primary Care Recovery Plan, with talks ongoing with NHS England and pharmaceutical companies. “We have so much skill and experience within our surgeries and pharmacies and by better using technology, transferring services and cutting bureaucracy we will have a more efficient and effective service,” he added.
