Improving dental access in Lincolnshire – patient survey

We are planning to launch new NHS dental services, with proposed locations in Lincoln, Boston and Skegness to support improved access to NHS dental care. These services will also support the training of the future dental workforce.

The new services are designed to deliver more NHS dental appointments, with a focus on communities who need them the most. By commissioning these services, we aim to reduce health inequalities and make essential NHS dental care more accessible for everyone.

What is this survey about?

We are seeking views on planned new NHS dental services, proposed to be based in Lincoln, Boston and Skegness.

These locations have been identified as the areas where there is unmet need and where oral health is the poorest. The proposed services will be accessible to residents across Lincolnshire, within the capacity of services.

As part of the ICB’s commitment to improving NHS dental care, the proposed services will not only expand access to essential treatment but will also support training of the future dental workforce.

Everyone living in the UK is eligible to access NHS dental services. Most adults pay a set, flat-rate fee for treatment, but you may qualify for free NHS dental care if you meet specific criteria.

Your feedback will help shape the service specification and the way the services are designed, delivered and monitored. This will ensuring they are safe, effective and responsive to local needs.
