Text

I thank the Minister for his answer. Community pharmacy and primary care, as I said, are very important for everybody. The Minister will remember that I had an Adjournment debate on the shrinkage in NHS dentistry in Fermanagh and South Tyrone. We could see further shrinkage, decline and closure. Has your Department done any assessment of what that will mean for rural constituencies such as mine, Fermanagh and South Tyrone, where health inequalities are worse because of many different factors?
