Primary care dental contracts: Advice on managing end-year issues

This note provides advice for Dentists with an NHS contract to share with their PCTs on:

• Arrangements for carrying forward any under-delivered services within the 4% tolerance allowed for within dental contracts;
• Working with dental providers to ensure, as far as possible, that an even pattern of service is delivered throughout the contract year;
• Handling any instances where a provider is set to complete their contracted service levels significantly before the end of the year.
