The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what proportion of dental practices were rated as good by the Care Quality Commission in Aldershot constituency on 3 September 2024.

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 a range of sectors that deliver health and care to people in England.

The CQC carries out assessments of approximately 10% of registered 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. Data held by the CQC on the active dental locations in the Aldershot constituency that have been assessed is undergoing quality assurance, and is currently unavailable.
