Data on NHS-covered dental provision
Dear Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board,
I would like to request the following data in relation to those in the BCUHB region who have lost full access to NHS-covered dental provision. Following changes to commitments under the General Dental Services contract variation for 2023/24, can the Health Board stipulate:
a. The nominal term used internally for “lost access to full NHS-funded dental treatment” when recording data on this variable internally
b. The assessment criteria used internally to determine whether a patient has lost access to NHS-funded dental services
In line with the Health Board’s criteria for b., I would like to request the following data:
c. The number of patients across the North Wales region that have lost access to NHS dental treatment / an NHS dentist.
d. The number of patients in the central BCUHB region that have lost access to NHS dental treatment / an NHS dentist.
Yours faithfully,
Sophie Gwyneth
