Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask Her Majesty's Government when the National Health Service (Dental Charges) Regulations 2005 will be amended to set out any revised NHS dental charges in England for the year commencing April 2020.
In light of the current COVID-19 pandemic and associated economic climate a decision was made to freeze dental patient charges at 2019/20 levels. This is a temporary freeze being kept under review. No changes have been made to current dental exemption arrangements.
