Norfolk councils fund £1.5 million for a new dental school to combat local dental care shortages.

Norfolk councils have committed £1.5 million to the University of East Anglia to establish a £3 million School of Oral Health, aiming to address the "dental desert" issue in Norfolk, where many residents lack access to NHS dental care. The school, set to open at the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital, will initially enroll 40 students annually, with plans to expand. The UEA will cover the remaining £1.5 million for specialized teaching facilities and equipment.
