Greg calls on Health Secretary to provide emergency dentist provision in Tunbridge Wells

Greg took part in a debate on dentistry in the House of Commons today to call on the Health Secretary to ensure that dentistry is fair across the country.

Referring to the fact that all seven Urgent Care Centres in Kent are based at least 33  miles away from his Tunbridge Wells constituency he asked Sajid Javid to intervene with the South East NHS to ensure that there is a more even distribution of them, the nearest is in Swanscombe.

Greg said: “I know from my constituents that this is a problem for them and I am grateful that the Health Minster has agreed to look into this for them.”
