英国国会议员批评政府的牙科恢复计划, UK MPs have criticized the government's Dental Recovery Plan, stating it has worsened access to NHS dentistry. 公共账户委员会认为,牙科合同不适宜用于目的,英格兰人口中只有大约一半的人能够在两年期间看牙医。 The Public Accounts Committee found that the dental contract is unfit for purpose, with only around half of England's population able to see an NHS dentist over a two-year period. 该计划于2024年2月出台,旨在增加就诊机会,但导致新病人看牙医的人数减少。 The plan, introduced in February 2024, aimed to boost access but has led to fewer new patients seeing dentists. PAC警告说,如果没有更好的报酬,更多的牙医将转到私营部门,并要求签订新的合同来改善获得服务的机会。 The PAC warns that without better remuneration, more dentists will move to the private sector, and calls for a new contract to improve access.
