Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health, what area in the East of England is covered by each NHS dentistry contract commissioned between 1 April 2013 and 31 March 2014; what the start and finish dates are of each contract area in the East of England; what the value of each such contract is; and how many units of dental activity were (a) contracted to be completed and (b) completed under each contract between 1 April 2013 and 31 March 2014.

I refer the hon. Member to the written answer I gave him on 3 September 2014, Official Report, column 238W. The table placed in the Library with that answer includes information from the NHS England area teams that cover the former East of England Strategic Health Authority (SHA) area: Essex, East Anglia and Hertfordshire and the South Midlands. Note, however, that Hertfordshire and the South Midlands area team covers Northamptonshire and Milton Keynes, which are outside the East of England SHA area.
