New dentistry places have been created in western Lancashire.
More than 16,000 new NHS dentistry places have been created in western Lancashire in order to meet the demand of locals for emergency dentistry procedures. 
The Ormskirk & Skelmersdale Advertiser reported the new dentistry places have been set up at surgeries in Ormskirk at the West Lancashire Health Centre on the Ormskirk Hospital site.
In addition, a further 16,000 places are to be created in Preston and Chorley.
Janice Nicholson, head of dental commissioning for the region, commented: “This has been a major development in dental care provision in the area and we are keen that as many residents benefit from it as possible.”
Elsewhere, the Goole Courier recently reported a new emergency dentistry surgery is to open in Snaith, North Yorkshire.
Snaith had been identified by NHS East Riding of Yorkshire as being an area that was in need of additional dental provision and therefore, the opening of this new surgery will be welcome news to locals.
