<p>Primary care dentistry in the National Health Service is delivered through contracts
structured around Units of Dental Activity (UDAs). Each treatment is allocated a number
of UDAs in proportion to the complexity and amount of work required. The following
table shows the number of UDAs delivered by dentists who have qualified within the
United Kingdom and outside thereof whilst working in the NHS in England for 2016/17
onwards:</p><table><tbody><tr><td><p>Year</p></td><td><p>UK Qualified UDA Delivered</p></td><td><p>Non-UK

NHS Business Services Authority</p><p>Notes:</p><ol><li>The dentist’s region of qualification
is based on that as provided on the General Dental Council (GDC) register. It is important
to note that not all dentists have a country of qualification on the GDC register
as supplied to the NHS Business Services Authority, and so these dentists are placed
into “other” as their region of qualification.</li><li>The Department does not hold
data on how much private dental work was completed in the last 10 years.</li></ol>
