The contractual changes of 28th December 2022 also provide for the commissioning of 110% of contracted Units of Dental Activities so that practices can deliver more NHS care, particularly in those areas where NHS dentistry is less prevalent.</p><p>NHS England is holding further discussions with the British Dental Association and other stakeholders for additional reforms of the NHS Dental System planned to take place in 2023</p> answering member constituency Harborough answering member printed Neil O'Brien question first answered 06/02/2023 14:25:43 answering member 4679 label Biography information for Neil O'Brien
