<p>We have assessed the utilisation of underspends in National Health Service dentistry
budgets on NHS dentistry services. NHS England has provided guidance for integrated

setting out the dental ringfence has been issued to ICBs. NHS England’s 2023/24 revenue
finance and contracting guidance, which provides more detail, is available at the
