Neil Carmichael explains how the government’s devolution plans to decentralise power will impact the dental profession.

In December 2024 Angela Rayner, the deputy prime minister announced plans for a ‘devolution revolution’ in England.

The aim is to remove bureaucracy and governance from Whitehall and allow local leaders to focus on their knowledge of the area and decide what is best for their communities.
