Dental Services
Asked by: Grahame Morris (Labour - Easington) Monday 20th May 2024 Question to the Department of Health and Social Care: To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, if she will require integrated care boards to collect data on the availability of NHS dental care services in their locality. Answered by Andrea Leadsom From 1 April 2023, responsibility for commissioning primary care dentistry to meet the needs of the local population has been delegated to integrated care boards (ICBs) across England. ICBs are responsible for undertaking oral health needs assessments, including any data collection, to identify areas of oral health need, inform local commissioning intentions, and determine the local priorities for investment. It is a contractual responsibility for all National Health Service dental practices to update their NHS.UK profiles at least once every 90 days. The Find a Dentist website gives details of the dental practices in an area, and whether they are accepting new patients, with further information available at the following link: https://www.nhs.uk/service-search/find-a-dentist ICB-level data on the number of Units of Dental Activity and courses of treatment delivered, as well as the numbers of adults and children seen, is available at the following link: https://digital.nhs.uk/data-and-information/publications/statistical/nhs-dental-statistics |

Answered by Andrea Leadsom Activity in National Health Service dentistry is measured by the number of Units of Dental Activity (UDAs) commissioned and delivered, and by the number of courses of treatment delivered, rather than by the number of appointments. Data on the number of UDAs commissioned and delivered is published each month on the NHS Business Services Authority Open Data Portal, which currently holds data up to February 2024, and is available at the following link: https://opendata.nhsbsa.net/dataset/english-contractor-monthly-general-dental-activity Data on the number of courses of treatment delivered in 2022/23, and in previous years, is published by NHS Digital, and available at the following link: https://digital.nhs.uk/data-and-information/publications/statistical/nhs-dental-statistics |

Dental Services: Easington
Asked by: Grahame Morris (Labour - Easington) Monday 20th May 2024 Question to the Department of Health and Social Care: To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what steps her Department is taking to improve (a) access to and (b) the provision of NHS dentistry in Easington constituency. Answered by Andrea Leadsom In the 24 months to June 2023, 1,099,769 adults were seen by a National Health Service dentist in the Northeast and North Cumbria Integrated Care Board (ICB), the equivalent to 46% of the population. This figure is 10% higher than the year before, as in the 24 months to June 2022, 996,298 adults were seen by an NHS dentist. On 7 February 2024, we published Faster, simpler, and fairer: our plan to recover and reform NHS dentistry, which is backed by £200 million, and will fund approximately 2.5 million additional appointments. The plan sets out our actions to improve dental access for patients across the country, and to address the challenges facing NHS dentistry, including in Easington. A New Patient Premium is supporting dentists to take on new patients, and since the end of January, nearly 500 more practices have said they are open to new patients. We have further supported dentists by raising the minimum Units of Dental Activity rate to £28 this year, making NHS work more attractive and sustainable. From 1 April 2023, the responsibility for commissioning primary care dentistry to meet the needs of the local population has been delegated to all ICBs across England. The Northeast and North Cumbria ICB is responsible for having local processes in place to identify areas of need, and determine the priorities for investment across the ICB area. |
