Commissioning conscious sedation services in primary dental care - June 2007

This guidance provides advice on strategic commissioning of sedation services, together with advice on some transitional issues where PCTs have sought clarification of existing guidance.

Previous guidance on sedation services has focused on transitional issues associated with the new contractual arrangements from 1 April 2006. This guidance addresses strategic commissioning issues that have previously been covered only by more general guidance on specialist dental services.
