Banff & Buchan MSP Stewart Stevenson has welcomed an announcement by the Scottish Government that it will fund the construction of a new NHS dental facility in Fraserburgh to the tune of £2.5 million over the next two years.
The funding is part of an £82 million investment that is being made nationally, £7.62 million of which is being spent in the NHS Grampian area.
Commenting, Mr Stevenson said:
“I am delighted that this substantial investment is being made to build a new dental centre in Fraserburgh. The problems in dentistry in our region are well documented, following years of neglect under the previous administration.
“The SNP Government is committed to improving dentistry in Banff & Buchan, and across Scotland generally, as shown by this latest investment. Taken with other measures, such as funding a £21 million dentistry school in Aberdeen, we are determined to make a real difference in this area.
“Since the SNP came to power we have already seen a significant increase in the number of people registered with an NHS dentist, and I am sure that with continued investment we will deliver better and better access to NHS dentists in Banff & Buchan.”
