More funding for dental patients
Filed under UncategorizedOct 5
Health bosses in the county have earmarked £720,000 a year to improve services for patients who need corrective work on their teeth. NHS Norfolk, formerly known as Norfolk Primary Care Trust, has launched a tendering exercise to pay for at least two more specialist orthodontists to see children who need correction work on their moderately or severely crooked teeth. More complex orthodontic work, which may need a multi-disciplinary team to treat the problem, will remain in hospitals. NHS Norfolk, which has committed the cash from its 2008/09 growth funding budget, is currently drawing up a shortlist of the best tenders and it is hoped the new orthodontists will be working from autumn onwards at the latest.
