uin	255310
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/05/2019 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> answering member constituency South Ribble answering member printed Seema Kennedy grouped question UIN 255312 question first answered 21/05/2019 16:10:13 answering member 4455 label Biography information for Seema Kennedy attachment 1 file name PQ255310 table formatted.xlsx title NHS Dentists Ceasing NHS Services 2007-2018
