The CQC carries out assessments of primary dental services to determine if they are compliant with regulations, however they do not rate dental services in the same way they do for the other services they regulate. 11 out of the 18 active dental locations in the High Peak constituency have been assessed and are compliant with the regulations. The remaining seven locations have not yet been assessed.
