This data is published as a result of the introduction of the new NHS dental contract on 1 April 2006.
The tables relate to NHS dental treatment undertaken by ‘high street dentists’. It does not cover private work carried out by dentists nor dentists working in the hospital or community dental service.
Data is not comparable with previous data under the old contractual arrangements.
The difference between the figures shown here and those shown quarterly in another StatsWales table is that all activity occurring during the year is included not just that activity scheduled for processing. Included here, therefore, are courses of treatment which might have occurred during the year but which had not been submitted to the Dental Services for processing during the processing cycle for each quarter.
