answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/07/2014 answer text <p>No assessment has been made of the implications for the National Health Service of the decision by the General Dental Council (GDC) on their proposal to increase the annual retention fee.</p><p> </p><p>The GDC is an independent body and it is therefore for the GDC Council to determine the level of the annual fee it charges for registration. The proposed fee increase is subject to public consultation where the GDC's case will be scrutinised. The Department does not usually contribute to such consultations but all professional regulators, including the GDC, are aware of the Department's position on registration fees. In February 2011, the Government published Enabling Excellence, which states that we would not expect registration fees to increase beyond their current levels, unless there is a clear and robust business case that any increase is essential to ensure the exercise of statutory duties.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Central Suffolk and North Ipswich answering member printed Dr Daniel Poulter question first answered 16/07/2014 13:25:08 answering member 3932 label Biography information for Dr Dan Poulter
