answer text <p>The NHS Business Services Authority collects data on the number of dentists (performers) who provide some National Health Service primary care dental services in each financial year. This data includes information on leavers and joiners. Leavers are defined as dentists who performed NHS activity in one year but then recorded no activity in the following year and Joiners are defined dentists who recorded NHS activity in the later year but who did not record NHS activity in the previous year. The information requested on NHS-registered dental practitioners ceasing to provide NHS services for the last 10 years is attached. Most dentists (associates) work on NHS contracts held by other dentists with NHS England.</p><p>No information is held on the reasons for an individual dentist leaving an NHS contract. Where the dentist is a contract holder the funding returns to NHS England and it is able to re-let the contract. Where the dentist is working on a contract as an associate the contract holder will seek to recruit a replacement dentist. Overall in the last year for which data is available, 2017/18 total numbers of dentists providing some NHS service increased.</p>

answer text <p>The Government wants patients to be able to benefit from access to effective new treatments as quickly as possible.</p><p>Through its technology appraisal and highly specialised technologies guidance, the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) makes authoritative, evidence-based recommendations on whether medicines and other treatments represent a clinically and cost effective use of National Health Service resources. NHS organisations are legally required to make funding available for NICE recommended treatments, usually within three months of final guidance.</p><p>Wherever possible, NICE currently aims to publish recommendations on new drugs as soon as possible after licensing, with draft guidance on cancer drugs published in advance of licensing. The 2019 Voluntary Scheme for Branded Medicines Pricing and Access includes a commitment to faster NICE assessments of new medicines, with timelines for non-cancer drugs to match those for cancer drugs, subject to the evidence base for the product being sufficiently developed.</p>
