The biggest change would see all patients over 18 placed onto a central waiting list, called the Dental Access Portal (DAP).They would then be allocated a surgery, which could be anywhere within the health board area.

If they need treatment, they would remain with that surgery until it is complete and beyond, if they needed close monitoring.If or when teeth are healthy, patients would be returned to the central portal and would be recalled for a check-up in 18 to 24 months wherever there is space.Children would be assessed under the plans but stay at the first surgery they are allocated.

Some charges for patients would also change - with check-ups going up from £20 to £24.75 but a single crown going down from £260 to £239.15.Health Minister Jeremy Miles said the plans would benefit everyone.

"It will make NHS dentistry more attractive to dentists and that is good for patients," he said.

"Actually, what we want to make sure is that patients do look after their own oral health but when they do need to see a dentist they will be able to access one which is the critical thing."Rachel Reeves said more people would qualify for the allowance "this winter", however details of the changes and who will be eligible remain unclear.

Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer has said he wanted tofor winter fuel in a U-turn on one of his government's first major policies, but failed to confirm on Wednesday how many would now get it.

The payment, worth up to £300 to help with energy bills during the coldest months, was paid only to those on pension credit last year, but the policy was widely blamed for Labour's poor local election results.It meant 10 million fewer pensioners received the money in 2024. There was particular concern among charities and some MPs about those whose income was slightly too high to qualify, but were hit by the loss of the payment as energy costs remained expensive.
