Your Primary Care Trust (PCT) is responsible for local NHS dental services and will:
- have money that must be used for local dental services
- agree contracts with NHS dentists for services that best meet local needs
- be able to influence where new practices are established
- be responsible for urgent and out-of-hours care in your area
If a dentist moves, closes down a practice or reduces the amount of NHS dentistry he or she provides, the money to provide this service will remain with your PCT for reinvestment in NHS dentistry for the local community.
Over time this will help PCTs ensure that NHS dental services better meet the needs of people in your area
