Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, pursuant to the Answer of 16 May 2022 to Question 282, on Dental Services: Finance, how many dentists have provided NHS care funded by the additional £50 million for NHS dentistry announced by the Government in January 2022.
The data requested is not yet held centrally as dental contract holders submit claims for activity within 60 days. The data is then centrally validated to ensure accuracy. We anticipate the information will be available by the end of July.
