Dear Ms Widdup
Freedom of Information Request
Thank you for your request for information under the FOI Act relating to dental
contracts. I can respond to my best knowledge and belief as follows.
1.
What is the total number of dentists in your area who have a contract with
the PCT to provide NHS services? How many practices is this?
See attached spreadsheet
2.
Please can I have details of the gross income (for the last financial year
07/08) of each of the practices within your PCT that provide NHS
services?
The total contract value for the last financial year 2007-2008 was
£9,767,719.93
3.
Please also provide the amount claimed in expenses for each practice
according to their self-assessment tax forms for the last financial year
07/08.
With regards to claimed expenses in their self assessment tax forms, no
such data is available from the payment on line system. Therefore this is a
relationship between the Dental Practice and the Inland Revenue the PCT
does not hold such data.
4.
Please provide details of how many dentists are employed per practice.
See attached spreadsheet
5.
Can you also provide the same detail (including gross income and
expenses) per practice for the year 04/05 - the year before the new NHS
contract was introduced to improve access to dental services?
The payment on line has only contracted data information from 1st April
2006-2007 onwards and not prior to the new NHS contracts. Therefore
there is no data available to produce.

6.
If available, please can I also have the total number of "units" of dental
activity and treatment carried out per practice in the last financial year
2007/08.
The total contracted and brought forward UDA for 2007-2008 was
335,001.00.
If you have any further query relating to this response please do not hesitate to
contact me quoting our reference above.
Yours sincerely
Paul Kennard
Head of Corporate Affairs (and FOI lead)
