More than 30 million NHS dental appointments were lost during CCP virus lockdowns in England, chairs of a health care watchdog and a dentists’ union said.
In a letter (pdf) to Chancellor of the Exchequer Rishi Sunak, Sir Robert Francis QC, chair of Healthwatch England, and Eddie Crouch, chair of the British Dental Association (BDA), said the “unprecedented backlog” was caused by the “initial suspension of face-to-face care, and ongoing restrictions” during the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus pandemic.
