EXPLANATORY NOTE
(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend the National Health Service (General Dental Services Contracts) Regulations 2005 (“the GDS Contracts Regulations”), the National Health Service (Personal Dental Services Agreements) Regulations 2005 (“the PDS Agreements Regulations”), the National Health Service (Dental Charges) Regulations 2005 (“the Dental Charges Regulations”) and the Functions of Primary Care Trusts and Strategic Health Authorities and the NHS Business Services Authority (Awdurdod Gwasanaethau Busnes y GIG) (Primary Dental Services) (England) Regulations 2006 (“the BSA Functions Regulations”).
Regulation 2(3) amends regulation 14 of the GDS Contracts Regulations to ensure that a contractor under its contractual terms is not required to provide mandatory services during any period in respect of which the Care Quality Commission has suspended the contractor as a service provider. Regulation 2(2) makes consequential amendments to insert two new definitions.
Regulation 2(4) amends paragraph 65(2) of Schedule 3 to the GDS Contracts Regulations to provide that a PCT may extend a contract for a further period of six months where there is another contractor who wishes to provide mandatory services which were provided by a deceased dental practitioner. Regulation 3 makes a mirror amendment to the PDS Agreements Regulations. These amendments clarify the policy and correct a drafting error made in S.I. 2011/1182 in respect of both of these provisions.
Regulation 4 amends regulation 4 of the Dental Charges Regulations to increase the applicable charge payable for a Band 1 course of treatment from £17.00 to £17.50, for a Band 2 course of treatment from £47.00 to £48.00 and a Band 3 course of treatment from £204.00 to £209.00.
Regulation 5 amends the BSA Functions Regulations to update references to the functions exercised by the Business Services Authority in relation to the National Health Service Pension Scheme Regulations 2008 (S.I. 2008/653) and to reflect amendments made by the National Health Service Pension Scheme, Injury Benefits and Additional Voluntary Contributions (Amendment) Regulations 2011 (S.I. 2011/2586).
