FINANCE: NHS Surrey has announced it is investing an extra £1m in the county’s high street dentists in order to boost NHS capacity.
NHS Surrey dental lead Jonathan Perrott said: “This additional £1m will make a real difference and means that an extra 10,000 NHS patients can be seen.”
The funding is in support of a new campaign, called “Smile Surrey”, which is encouraging people to find their nearest NHS dentist.
