answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 02/03/2023 answer text <p>The National Health Service contracts with independent dental providers to deliver NHS dental treatment in primary care settings. As a result, pay and conditions are agreed between staff and the practice holding an NHS contract. This provides practices with the flexibility to recruit to meet local needs.

tabling member constituency	York Central

uin	152276
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 02/03/2023 answer text <p>The NHS Pension Scheme is an occupational pension scheme designed for staff engaged primarily in the delivery of services in the National Health Service. Employees of NHS trusts, for example, are normally engaged wholly in the delivery of NHS services and are therefore eligible for membership.</p><p>The majority of NHS dental services are contracted via a provider-performer dentist, with dental practices operating as private businesses. As a result, practices engage dental nurses and other dental care professionals as required for both their private and NHS business needs. As a result, it is difficult to identify staff as being primarily engaged in the delivery of NHS services and for this reason dental practice staff are unable to join the scheme.</p><p>As part of our work to improve the use of skill mix in dental teams, we are now collecting additional data on NHS care delivered by these staff members, which will support decision making in this area should it be considered further in the future.</p> answering member constituency Harborough answering member printed Neil O'Brien question first answered 02/03/2023 15:35:51 answering member 4679 label Biography information for Neil O'Brien

uin	152277
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 01/03/2023 answer text <p>NHS England is responsible for commissioning primary care dentistry to meet the needs of the local population of all ages and those in care homes. Many of the dentistry commissioning functions undertaken by NHS England will transfer to integrated care boards (ICBs) from April 2023. ICBs will be responsible for meeting the needs of their local population by working with patient groups, including on communication needs. NHS England has made available to commissioners an Assurance Framework to provide assurances on commissioning.</p><p>Community dental services offer dental care to vulnerable patients who are referred by a general practitioner or social worker and cannot be treated in a general National Health Service dental practice. Treatments are provided in settings including hospitals, specialist health centres and mobile clinics, as well as through home visits or visits in nursing and care homes. In circumstances where a person is unable to access an urgent dental appointment directly through a NHS dental practice, they are advised to contact NHS 111 for assistance.</p> answering member constituency Harborough answering member printed Neil O'Brien question first answered 01/03/2023 12:57:30 answering member 4679 label Biography information for Neil O'Brien
