One year on from the 10 Year Health Plan: Record access and neighbourhood health

It is now one year since the launch of the national 10 Year Health Plan and across Hampshire and the Isle of Wight work is already underway to deliver changes to health and care services that will make the biggest difference to people’s lives.

Increased access to dentistry

Many practices within Hampshire and Isle of Wight are participating in a flexible commissioning scheme, which offers extra NHS dentistry sessions for patients who require additional treatment after receiving care for an urgent dental need. The scheme will also provide routine check-ups for specific patient cohorts. Patients do not need to be known to, or associated with, the practice to access these sessions.
