Parliamentary Under Secretary of State (Department for Business and Trade) (Minister for Women)
National Health Service dental contracts transferred from primary care trusts to NHS England in 2013 continue to operate under the current General Dental Services and Personal Dental Services contracts. Contractual variations and regulatory amendments have been updated within the contracts to ensure that they provide the same level of service and safety to patients as any newly commissioned contract.
