@LouisFinne52395 Doesn’t look like him to be honest

[Eddie Crouch @EddieCrouch]

It’s not yet confirmed who will be taking the dental brief at @DHSCgovuk.

But we will ensure this is on their agenda.

The govt has mourned that decay is the no 1 reason for hospital admissions among young among children.

But we need real effort to bring down these backlogs.

[BDA @TheBDA]

"The Government has no shortage of soundbites on children ending up in hospital for extractions," says @EddieCrouch.

"But kids facing yearlong waits have yet to get anything that looks like real support."

Peter so sorry to hear and all the love and prayers from the Crouch family you and your family May she rest in peace

[Peter Stefanovic @PeterStefanovi2]

Many have asked why I have been so silent these past weeks. I'm heartbroken to say my beautiful, darling wife passed away on Thursday. She had held my heart in her hand from the first moment I saw her and we shared 36 wonderful years together. She had bravely battled cancer with courage and fortitude for many years yet still never lost the ability to light up a room with her beautiful smile, her wonderful sense of humour and her laughter. Not once did she give up the hope for life. I truely believe there is more to this existence than we know and that one day we shall be reunited by our love for each other, a love that was so honest and so real and so true. Until then I shall hold her tightly in my heart. When my daughter and I returned home from the hospital a red rose had appeared in our garden. It was right outside our door and had appeared from nowhere in a clump of dry weeds. Red roses were my wife’s favorite flower. She wore 3 in her hair at our wedding and carried a bouquet of red roses. I had asked her to send me a sign before she passed to say she was ok. It must have been sent by her.

You will stay forever in my heart until we are together again my darling ❤️

So Heron House is going to be the base for No10 North. Never in doubt #DentistsWithHerons

[Eddie Crouch @EddieCrouch]

I would also hope NHS Dentistry would feature highly too as this is also in a precarious state and needs urgency and funding @TheBDA

[Department of Health and Social Care @DHSCgovuk]

Maternity and social care will be top priorities for the new Health and Social Care Secretary @YvetteCooperMP.

We followed her as she met patients and staff at the Royal Berkshire Hospital's maternity department, and then residents and staff at a sheltered housing scheme.

[Eddie Crouch @EddieCrouch]

These words from @RupertLowe10 are both factually incorrect and potentially dangerous rhetoric.

As a serving MP, he should check the facts before making claims of this kind and should apologise for misleading the public.

[BDA @TheBDA]

🦷Migrants don’t "go to the top of the waiting list for dental treatment."

We are appalled by the dangerous and inaccurate claims by @RestoreBritain’s @RupertLowe10 MP on migrants and access to dental care, made on the @joerogan podcast earlier this month.

[Eddie Crouch @EddieCrouch]

Congratulations and look forward to working constructively on improving NHS dentistry for patients and the profession @TheBDA

[Yvette Cooper @YvetteCooperMP]

It’s a real honour to be appointed Health Secretary by Andy Burnham - 27 years after I worked on the first NHS Cancer Plan as a junior health minister.

I’m looking forward to working urgently to improve maternity services, to take forward plans for social care, and to once again play a part in supporting our National Health Service, Labour’s proudest achievement.

Most of all I’m looking forward to working with the dedicated NHS staff, carers, healthcare professionals and volunteers on whom we all depend.

In leaving the FCDO, let me pay tribute to the brilliant diplomats and ministers I worked with at the Foreign Office, and to my fellow foreign ministers from across the world - for all the work we did together to support Ukraine, to recognise the State of Palestine, to keep the spotlight on Sudan and to treat violence against women and girls as the global crisis it is. The partnerships we build abroad make us stronger at home.

[Eddie Crouch @EddieCrouch]

Congratulations on your promotion @SKinnock from all of us @thebda.

After the endless churn of ministers, you brought needed focus and welcome candour to this role.

We will do all we can to ensure your successor hits the ground running. They’ll have to.

[UK Prime Minister @10DowningStreet]

Stephen Kinnock has been appointed as Secretary of State for Wales @walesoffice.

[Eddie Crouch @EddieCrouch]

@iangordon1959 @SKinnock @TheBDA @ADG_Dental Think you will find that responsibility is with @Plaid_Cymru not @SKinnock

[BDA @TheBDA]

A new team must offer real urgency and ambition on reform, or this service will cease to exist.

If you agree, sign this message to our new PM👇

[Eddie Crouch @EddieCrouch]

We have the first Health Secretary since this contract was imposed to represent a true access hotspot.

@YvetteCooperMP,  all of us @TheBDA want to work with you to turn the page on a system that has failed this profession, your constituents, & millions across this country.

[UK Prime Minister @10DowningStreet]

Yvette Cooper has been appointed as Secretary of State for Health and Social Care @dhscgovuk.

[Eddie Crouch @EddieCrouch]

Proud to take part in important summit in Cornwall on this crisis yesterday.

The South West is perhaps England’s worst dental desert, but this country has few oases, and a new government needs to step up.

[BDA @TheBDA]

.@wesstreeting once described parts of the East of England as the 'Sahara of Dental Deserts.'

Well Cornwall is now 'Death Valley'. 

Clearly there are some local drivers, but ultimately this is a problem made in Westminster, and it can only be solved in Westminster.

[Eddie Crouch @EddieCrouch]

Was delighted to take part in the summit today and whilst plans locally may make somethings better it’s Westminster that needs to make the biggest impact for Cornwall residents

Hoping today will be a productive day discussing issues facing NHS Dentistry nationally and in Cornwall specifically. Starting at @BBCCornwall in Truro @TheBDA

[Eddie Crouch @EddieCrouch]

Arrived in Truro ahead of the very important discussions tomorrow about NHS Dentistry in Cornwall https://t.co/Z3TxGj6jnD Looking forward to starting the day @BBCCornwall

It is Coming home then ? Well at least to Chez Charlie

Look what arrived today…as ever my timing is impeccable 🤣🤣🤣

[Eddie Crouch @EddieCrouch]

Very welcome news from @SharonHodgsonMP, and prevention in action.

@theBDA has pressed for change here as products that are habit forming, highly acidic and can contain over 20 teaspoons of sugar have no place on the menu for kids.

[BDA @TheBDA]

“Packed with sugar and highly acidic, dentists have seen the damage energy drinks do every day," says @EddieCrouch

“The result is children struggling to eat, to sleep and to learn."

"Taking them off the menu for under 16s is a victory for common sense."
