Dear Patient

Your views on the provision of new dental services in East Anglia

NHS England is responsible for the provision of primary care dental services in East Anglia.

We are currently looking to procure additional dental services within your area.

The new dental services that we are currently proposing would be open from 8.00am to 8.00pm, seven days a week, 365 days per year, with patients being able to access urgent appointments, alongside routine dental appointments.

The proposed new dental services would also make it easier for patients to access routine dental care. It is envisaged that the service locations will be fully accessible for all members of the local community.

In order to make sure these services meet your needs, it is important that we have your views on the new dental services to be provided.

If you would like to have your say, then please email us and you will be emailed a short questionnaire to complete.

Many thanks for helping to make sure we are providing dental services that meet the needs of local patients.

Yours faithfully

Jessica Bendon
Senior Dental Contract Manager
