Pressing the Prime Minister for Lincolnshire Dental School Places at PMQs

PMQs Dental School Places

I pressed the Prime Minister in PMQs to back the University of Lincoln and their plans for a Lincolnshire dental school. 

The university is in a position to evolve into a fully-fledged dental school in the near future and can offer places to a cohort of dental students from as early as 2027.

I am pleased the Prime Minister has commended the hard work of the University. I was unsure from his answer that he understood the question, but I hope his reply means that the funding will be given to the University for the dental school and I will be following the request for funding up with the Health Secretary directly.
