NHS dentists: debate in Parliament
On 5 February, MPs took part in a debate on NHS dentists.
This was an adjournment debate led by Alex Easton MP. Health Minister Stephen Kinnock MP responded on behalf of the Government.
Explainer
Adjournment debates give an MP the opportunity to debate a topic they choose, and receive a response from the Government.
They are a way to:
- raise awareness of an issue
- seek to influence government policy
- put the views of the MP and the Government on record.
They do not involve a vote on a particular action or decision.
The debates take place at the end of each day in the House of Commons. They last for 30 minutes.
See our visual explainer on how these debates work.
