In 2023/24, Wirral had the highest rates of tooth extraction in children and young people aged 0-19 in Cheshire and Merseyside, with a rate of 498.2 per 100,000; this is compared to an average of 336.7 per 100,000 in the North-West overall (and it should be noted that the North-West in turn, has higher rates than England overall). Key Outcomes 1. Reduction in inequalities in the proportion of 0-17 year olds in Wirral who have seen a dentist in the previous year (NHSBSA data) 2. Provision of a targeted community mobile dental service, which is free at the point of use to children living in areas of deprivation who would not otherwise have access to dentistry 3.
