answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/03/2024 answer text <p>From 1 April 2023, the responsibility for commissioning primary care dentistry to meet the needs of the local population has been delegated to all integrated care boards (ICBs) across England. This included the transfer of all funding, Units of Dental Activity, and the management responsibility for National Health Service dentistry.</p><p>The current NHS dental contract already requires dental services to provide preventative care and treatment. To support dentists with this, NHS England and the Office for Health Improvement and Disparities have produced a comprehensive toolkit for dentists, providing evidence-based interventions and advice on how dental health professionals can improve and maintain their patient’s oral health. This guidance is available on the GOV.UK website, in an online-only format.</p><p>As set out in <em>Our plan to recover and reform NHS dentistry, </em>we are working on further reforms to the 2006 contract, in discussion with the dental profession, to properly reflect the care needed by different patients, and more fairly remunerate practices. We expect to develop options for consultation with the dental profession in advance of a further announcement later this year. Any changes would be phased in from 2025 onwards. The plan also includes a range of measures which will prevent poor oral health, particularly in the youngest children, including dental teams providing preventative advice and treatment to reception-age children in the most under-served areas, and a new Smile for Life programme which will provide education and advice for nurseries and other early years settings.</p> answering member printed Lord Markham question first answered 05/03/2024 12:41:23 answering member 4948 label Biography information for Lord Markham

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/02/2024 answer text <p>As announced on 7 February 2024 in our plan to recover and reform National Health Service dentistry, to help services recover from the pandemic, we will offer dental practices an additional payment for each new patient requiring treatment. The scheme will start from 1 March 2024 and run for 13 months, making it faster and simpler for new patients to access NHS dental care. The purposes of this scheme will be to support anyone who has not been able to receive NHS dental care in the preceding two years. These payments will support dentists in treating approximately one million new patients.</p><p>The payment level, of either £15 or £50, depends on the treatment required, and recognises the additional time that may be needed for practices to assess, stabilise and manage the oral health needs of patients who have not received NHS dental care for a significant period. The £50 payment is approximately equal to 50% of the money awarded for a Band 2a course of treatment. Therefore, a similar uplift would equate to £15 for a Band 1 course of treatment.</p> answering member constituency South Northamptonshire answering member printed Andrea Leadsom question first answered 22/02/2024 18:52:14 answering member 4117 label Biography information for Andrea Leadsom previous answer version 18768 answering member constituency South Northamptonshire answering member printed Andrea Leadsom answering member 4117 label Biography information for Andrea Leadsom
