NHS: Dental Services
(asked on 24th February 2022) - View Source
Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask Her Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answer by Lord Kamall on 23 February (HL6197), why they do not centrally hold information on the number of dental practices providing National Health Service dentistry.
This question was answered on 1st March 2022
Data is collated in the form of contracts for National Health Services. Whilst this is approximately equivalent to the number of practices providing NHS services, there will be individual practices or businesses which may hold more than one contract for different or additional services.
