Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask His Majesty's Government whether they have any plans to introduce to a 'fee per item' system in NHS dental practices.

To rebuild dentistry in the long term, the Government intends to reform the dental contract, with a shift to focus on prevention and the retention of National Health Service dentists. As part of this, we will continue to consider how a full range of payment models can best support the delivery of dental care to patients.
