Dear Ellen Widdup

R09/084

This is the response from NHS Brent to your request for information
about dentists' pay. Please see below and the attached spreadsheet.

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?

We have 62 NHS dentistry contracts, and a further 3 Orthodontic ones.
They are delivered through a total of 64 practices.

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?

See attached spreadsheet.

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.

The PCT does not hold this data.

4. Please provide details of how many dentists are employed per
practice.

The PCT does not hold this data.

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 PCT does not hold this data.

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
07/08.

See attached spreadsheet.

Yours sincerely
