To ask the Secretary of State for Health what the average number of units of dental activity an NHS dentist with a majority NHS patient list is expected to undertake in a year.
holding answer
The number of units of dental activity (UDAs) that general dental services (GDS) dentists will be expected to undertake in a year will be based on the weighted courses of treatment reported to the Dental Practice Board during the reference period of October 2004 to September 2005, but with a five per cent. reduction and with flexibility for primary care trusts (PCTs) and dentists to agree adjustments to the annual total where appropriate.
The number of UDAs for personal dental services (PDS) dentists is a matter for local agreement between PCTs and dentists.
Until GDS contracts and PDS agreements are finalised and UDAs agreed, it is not possible to estimate an average value.
