A wider societal aspect

“There is undoubtedly a wider societal aspect to this, perhaps in how members of the public and others are raising issues with regulators generally.”

I read the above at chemist and druggist.

Please explain the use of "a" before "wider societal..." and the construction "there is" in the context.

"wider societal aspect" is not complete because it has a singular countable noun (aspect) and no determiner ('a', 'the', 'my', 'this', ...). A determiner must be added to make it complete. Thus, "a wider societal aspect".
