The British Dental Association has sent an open letter to the Welsh government.

He warned "the fate of NHS dentistry is in the balance" and said recruitment and retention problems had been flagged repeatedly."Indeed, newly qualified dentists are increasingly avoiding NHS work from the outset.

The government, Dr Gidney wrote, had not shared data that led to the changes with dentists so it could be scrutinised. "We certainly want to avoid going down the path of multiple FOIs as these are time consuming for all parties and not good use of precious resources," said the letter. Concerns were also raised that the contracts did not address their concerns about health inequalities.
