PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
Dental Services: Finance (14 April 2022)

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, how much of the £50 million NHS dentistry catch up fund announced in January 2022 has been spent in (a) total and (b) in each region of England.

Asked by:
Judith Cummins (Labour)

The information requested is not currently held centrally. National Health Service dentists have two months to submit FP17 data after completing a course of treatment. We anticipate that data for this additional activity should be available from June 2022. Regions are strongly advised to spend their full budget. NHS England’s regional commissioners continue to work with local contractors to commission as much additional activity as possible.
