Dental Services: Finance
(asked on 9th March 2017) - View Source
Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health, for what reasons his Department does not routinely publish details of NHS funding for dental services.
This question was answered on 16th March 2017
NHS England is responsible for commissioning dental services to meet local need. The Department does not routinely publish details of National Health Service funding for dental services as NHS England does not have a specified dental budget. There is no allocation specifically for dentistry, NHS England receives an overall primary care services budget which includes funding for all dental services.
