I will home in on some questions regarding that decline.

Funding declined by 31% between 2015 and 2020 but the number of dentists contracted has also declined substantially from 1,847 to 1,279. How many fewer dentists are signed up to the contract now than when we first started to see the decline a number of years ago? How stark is the number?
