Dental Services: Private Equity
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what assessment his Department has made of the level of exposure of NHS dental service provision to private equity investors.
Answered by Department of Health and Social Care
National Health Service dental services are commissioned by integrated care boards to deliver NHS dental treatment in primary care settings. Dental practices are private businesses and therefore able to decide how they operate, providing they remain compliant with the appropriate regulations.
