Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask Her Majesty’s Government whether they will publish each NHS England local area team's commissioning guidelines and referral criteria for (1) orthognathic surgery, (2) dental implants for head and neck cancer patients, (3) dental implants for hypodontia patients, (4) orthodontic treatment within Special Care Dentistry, and (5) intravenous sedation within Special Care Dentistry.

NHS England intends to publish national guidance covering Orthodontics, Special Care Dentistry, Oral Surgery/Oral Medicine, and Restorative dentistry. NHS England’s intention is that this guidance will be published in 2015 and will supersede all local guidance.
