Petition Stop the Welsh Government’s Harmful Changes to NHS Dentistry
We call on the Welsh Government to halt proposed changes to NHS dental services that will dramatically affect access to care, especially for people with disabilities, those with mental health conditions, and individuals with a fear of dentists.
More details
These changes risk reducing the availability of appointments, increasing waiting times, and placing greater pressure on dental practices already struggling to meet demand. Many people with disabilities or complex needs already face barriers when accessing dental care — including physical inaccessibility, sensory overload, communication difficulties, and anxiety.
Reforming the system without strong patient consultation and support will only make these problems worse. We urge the Welsh Government to reconsider these changes and instead invest in making NHS dentistry more accessible, inclusive, and responsive to vulnerable patients' needs.
