## Description

Herefordshire is a rural area and access to routine dentistry continues to be a significant problem locally\. COVID-19 has worsened the position considerably\. NHSE/I needs to address this matter and is trying to understand what is preventing adequate dental access in rural areas\. A wrap around model of service that is over and above a routine general dental service model is being considered\. In order to develop a model attractive to bidders we are asking providers to complete a questionnaire within EU-Supply: https://uk\.eu-supply\.com/login\.asp?B=agcsu \(quote/tender 44555 - Rural dentistry in Herefordshire - market engagement questionnaire\)\. We are interested in your thoughts and have included open ended questions to encourage you to tell us what you think is important\. We would welcome your feedback; please submit your responses to the questionnaire by 2pm on Wednesday 16th June 2021\.
