The information requested is not collected centrally. The NHS Choices website, www.nhs.uk, publishes some dental practice-level information about whether National Health Service patients in various categories are being accepted for new courses of treatment. However, the relevant data collection is voluntary and not all dental practices have taken the opportunity to return this information to NHS Choices.
