Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health, if he will publish the rates at which the NHS market forces factor is applied to the dental service increment for teaching.

Payments for dental undergraduate clinical placements (formerly known as dental service increment for teaching) are outside the scope of the medical undergraduate clinical placement tariff and subject to local arrangements between the placement provider and Health Education England.

There is no nationally mandated market forces factor rate applied to these locally agreed payments.
