Description

Poor oral health also has an impact on demand for NHS services. In 2023/24, Wirral had the highest rates of tooth extraction in children and young people aged 0-19 in Cheshire and Merseyside, with a rate of 498.2 per 100,000; this is compared to an average of 336.7 per 100,000 in the North-West overall (and it should be noted that the North-West in turn, has higher rates than England overall). Key Outcomes 1. Reduction in inequalities in the proportion of 0-17 year olds in Wirral who have seen a dentist in the previous year (NHSBSA data) 2. Provision of a targeted community mobile dental service, which is free at the point of use to children living in areas of deprivation who would not otherwise have access to dentistry 3. Provision of regular reporting following each block of clinic visits, to include patient numbers, specified demographics, type of dental issue experienced by patients, types of treatment administered and feedback from patients and the dental professionals involved. These services will be procured under The Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023 under The Most Suitable Provider Process
