Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health, how many applications to the National Dental Performers List are awaiting processing.
NHS England advise that there are currently 24 Dental Foundation Training applications from the March 2017 cohort to join the Dental Performer List waiting to be processed. There are 285 other applications being processed from dentists who qualified outside of England or who have not previously provided National Health Service primary dental care in England.
