answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/11/2021 answer text <p>This information is not held in the format available. A general dental services contract or personal dental services agreement covers a range of activity and service.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/11/2021 answer text <p>The independent Migration Advisory Committee (MAC) last reviewed whether Dental Practitioners should be included on the SOL in 2019, and did not recommend doing so.</p><p> </p><p>Dentists are an eligible occupation to be sponsored under the Skilled Worker route, subject to the rules and requirements of the route being met.</p><p> </p><p>The main benefits of an occupation being on the Shortage Occupation List (SOL) is a lower salary threshold and reduced visa fees. Dentists already receive these benefits through tradeable points and the Health and Care visa (which also exempts them from paying the Immigration Health Surcharge), so there would be little visible benefit in adding them to the SOL.</p><p> </p><p>Following recommendations in their 2020 review the Government have agreed to review the SOL more regularly, the next review is expected to be in 2022. As with all SOL reviews, the MAC will launch a call for evidence and dental stakeholders will be able to provide their input to this process.</p> answering member constituency Torbay answering member printed Kevin Foster question first answered 09/11/2021 10:57:46 answering member 4451 label Biography information for Kevin Foster
