Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health, what estimate he has made of the number of NHS dentistry contracts in place in the East of England between 1 April 2013 and 31 March 2014; and what the (a) name and (b) location was of each provider.
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.
