General description

This data shows the number of dental contracts and practices.

Data collection and calculation

The data is derived from dental activity forms submitted for payment and processed by NHS Business Services Authority Dental Services.

Data is based on at least one FP17W or FP17OW being submitted by a contract at a dental practice.

Dental contract: a dental practitioner or group of dental practitioners that enter into contract with a Local Health Board to provide NHS dental services. More than one dental practitioner can perform NHS dental work under the same contract (for example, the practitioner who enters the contract may sub-contract to other dental practitioners to perform work under the same contract).

Dental practice: the geographic location where dental treatment took place. Each location can have work performed there by different dental practitioners who may have entered into separate dental contracts with the Local Health Board.
