Dental Services: High Peak

Asked by Jon PearceLabourDepartment of Health and Social CareTabled Answered 1 August 2024UIN 2010

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, how many and what proportion of dental practises are rated as good by the CQC in High Peak constituency.

Answered by Stephen Kinnock

The Care Quality Commission (CQC) regulates all health and social care services in England. The commission ensures quality and safety across the range of sectors that deliver health and care to people in England.

The CQC carries out assessments of primary dental services to determine if they are compliant with regulations, however they do not rate dental services in the same way they do for the other services they regulate. 12 out of the 18 active dental locations in the High Peak constituency have been assessed and are compliant with the regulations. The remaining six locations have not yet been assessed.
