NHS England intends to close the Kentish Town Urgent Dental service by April 2017, without public notice or consultation, and against the wishes of Whittington Health. It has been open since 2009 and thousands of patients from across London have benefited from the excellent treatment provided and is essential for those who cannot afford even NHS dentistry. Local dentists also refer patients to this service. As this closure will impact on the dental health of Londoners, especially in Camden, will you raise this with NHS England with a view to lobbying to keep the service open?
