Conclusion
Rejected
Para 39
We also welcome measures by NHS England to intervene on providers who are under-delivering on contracted NHS activity. We look forward to an update on how this work is progressing. We welcome this funding being used flexibly, however there cannot be further delays in doing so.
Government Response Summary
The government explicitly rejects a recommendation to introduce patient registration, which was not made in this conclusion. The response then outlines existing information on patient choice and practice availability, and commits to commissioning a dental workforce survey by early 2024 and publishing monthly data on local NHS dental activity.
