Registrations with dentists of the NHS (Birmingham)

The request was partially successful.

Dear Birmingham East and North Primary Care Trust (PCT),

What is the total population of this region? From these persons, how many had success to register themselves with a dentist of the NHS?

Yours faithfully,

Dear Birmingham East and North Primary Care Trust (PCT),

It is a very simple question. Please say me the number of people in the area who are registered with a dentist of the NHS. If some people in the area have not registered themself, I did not ask you to especulate why not.

The first part you answered okay.

Yours faithfully,

Dear Pablo

Please see the below response I have received to your further question:

The simple answer is that there are no patients “registered” with a NHS dental practice

Helen,

What?! Of course that they register! Please explain.

Dear Pablo

Please see the below response I have received to your query.

The simple answer is that dental practices do not hold a list of "registered" patients. Practices have to offer the next available appointment to a patient requesting NHS treatment.
