<p>We have assessed the utilisation of underspends in National Health Service dentistry
budgets on NHS dentistry services. NHS England has provided guidance for integrated
care boards (ICBs) that requires dental funding to be ringfenced, with any unused
resources re-directed to improve NHS dental access in the first instance. A schedule
setting out the dental ringfence has been issued to ICBs. NHS England’s 2023/24 revenue
finance and contracting guidance, which provides more detail, is available at the
