Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, how many NHS dental contracts have been handed back 7 February 2024.

Monthly data on the Units of Dental Activity (UDA) delivered is published by the NHS Business Services Authority, although this data has an approximate two-month time lag, and therefore we expect data for February 2024 to be published around Mid-May. Otherwise, UDA delivery data is available at the following link:
