Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, how many and what proportion of NHS dental contract holders in England are currently paid less per unit of dental activity than the band one patient charge of £23.80.
This information is not available in the format requested. A General Dental Services contract or Personal Dental Services agreement covers a range of activity and service. The units of dental activity, against which contracts are monitored, form only part of those arrangements and therefore are not assigned a specific value.
