To be helpful, the latest parliamentary question reply I received has a figure of 1,052 in March of this year, so it is more than a 30% decline nationally in dentists participating. If we drill down into those figures, obviously, there are areas that are proportionately much higher in terms of the impact. If we look at my own constituency, which is covered by LHO 7, there is a 70% reduction in dentists participating in the scheme, down from 40 in 2018 to 16 now. I think Mr. Gloster would agree that is alarming, to say the least.
