- Question
- To ask the Secretary of State for Health what guidelines have been provided to NHS dentists regarding the cost of dentures.
- Answer
-
[pursuant to the reply, 21 July 2005, Official Report, c. 2156W]: I regret that my previous reply was incorrect. The table indicated that the current fee paid to NHS dentists for full dentures in chrome cobalt or stainless steel was £279.60. It should have read £278.60. The table also implied that the remuneration paid to the dentist included both this fee and the patient charge. This was misleading. The remuneration paid to the dentist comprises only the NHS fee. The correct table is as follows.
£ Type of denture Synthetic resin Chrome cobalt or stainless steel Dentists fee 158.10 278.60 Note: Patients who are liable to pay charges contribute 80 per cent. of the dentist's fees.
