This book was released on 2008 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In April 2006 the Department of Health reformed the General Dental Service: Primary Care Trusts (PCTs) were given the power to commission dental services; the patient charging system was simplified; and under the terms of a new dental contact, dentists were remunerated according to the number of Units of Dental Activity (UDA) completed. The Department issued a number of criteria for success: patient experience; clinical quality; NHS commissioning and improving dentists' working lives. This report assesses how far they had been met. Various measures of access to dental services all indicate that the situation is deteriorating. The numbers of dentists working for the NHS and the number of courses of treatment provided has fallen slightly. The total number of patients seen by an NHS dentist between December 2005 and December 2007 has fallen by 900,000 compared with the two years up to March 2006. Access is uneven across the country. The introduction of the new charging system has simplified the system for patients, but problems remain. The new contract was meant to improve preventive care, but dentists claim it fails to provide the time and the financial incentive to do so. The number of complex treatments - including laboratory work, root canal treatments - has fallen markedly whilst the number of tooth extractions has increased. The reason for the decline in the number of complex treatments has not been explained satisfactorily. PCT commissioning of dental services has been poor. The new remuneration system based on UDAs has proved extremely unpopular with dentists. It is extraordinary that the Department did not pilot or test the UDA payment system before it was introduced in 2006. The Committee makes a number of recommendations for improving dental services.

Book Department of Health  Reforming NHS Dentistry

Download or read book Department of Health Reforming NHS Dentistry written by Great Britain: Parliament: House of Commons: Committee of Public Accounts and published by The Stationery Office. This book was released on 2005-07-14 with total page 66 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Traditionally dentists are independent contractors who choose where to locate their premises and how much NHS dentistry to provide. Over the past 10 years there has been an increase in the number of patients experiencing difficulties in accessing NHS dentistry and during this time there has also been pressure to reform the dental remuneration system. In 2003 major changes were announced in which Primary Care Trusts were to be given responsibility for commissioning NHS dental services and a deadline of October 2005 was set for implementing new contracts. This report looks at how the risks of the service are being managed including the mismatch between supply and demand, the ability of Primary Care Trusts to commission services and variations in oral health.

Book Department of Health

    Book Details:
  • Author : Great Britain. National Audit Office
  • Publisher : Stationery Office Books (TSO)
  • Release : 2004
  • ISBN :
  • Pages : 74 pages

Download or read book Department of Health written by Great Britain. National Audit Office and published by Stationery Office Books (TSO). This book was released on 2004 with total page 74 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Under new arrangements announced by the Department of Health in 2003, Primary Care Trusts will be required to commission dental services and dentists will be paid for delivering local contracts to meet patients' oral health needs, rather than for each item of treatment. Following consultation, these changes are due to be implemented from October 2005. This NAO report finds that there is a strong rationale for reforming the current system of NHS dentistry in England but highlights significant risks that will need to be managed if new systems are to be effective and provide value for money. Issues discussed include: the new roles and responsibilities that Primary Care Trusts will have to develop in order to implement and manage the new arrangements; problems of access to NHS dentists, particularly in some areas; the shortage of dentists and recruitment needs; the risk that capacity freed up under the new system might not be utilised to the benefit of the NHS; and the level of patient awareness of entitlements, service availability and charges under the new system.

Book excerpt: "The United States Code is the official codification of the general and permanent laws of the United States of America. The Code was first published in 1926, and a new edition of the code has been published every six years since 1934. The 2012 edition of the Code incorporates laws enacted through the One Hundred Twelfth Congress, Second Session, the last of which was signed by the President on January 15, 2013. It does not include laws of the One Hundred Thirteenth Congress, First Session, enacted between January 2, 2013, the date it convened, and January 15, 2013. By statutory authority this edition may be cited "U.S.C. 2012 ed." As adopted in 1926, the Code established prima facie the general and permanent laws of the United States. The underlying statutes reprinted in the Code remained in effect and controlled over the Code in case of any discrepancy. In 1947, Congress began enacting individual titles of the Code into positive law. When a title is enacted into positive law, the underlying statutes are repealed and the title then becomes legal evidence of the law. Currently, 26 of the 51 titles in the Code have been so enacted. These are identified in the table of titles near the beginning of each volume. The Law Revision Counsel of the House of Representatives continues to prepare legislation pursuant to 2 U.S.C. 285b to enact the remainder of the Code, on a title-by-title basis, into positive law. The 2012 edition of the Code was prepared and published under the supervision of Ralph V. Seep, Law Revision Counsel. Grateful acknowledgment is made of the contributions by all who helped in this work, particularly the staffs of the Office of the Law Revision Counsel and the Government Printing Office"--Preface.
