The Association of Dental Groups’ (ADG) response to the recommendations in the recently published ‘Open consultation – NHS dentistry contract: quality and payment reforms’ is that in general, they are to be welcomed. The proposals which include support for a focus on the highest priority and highest need patient groups and delivery of evidence-based prevention interventions, whilst ensuring a quality related element into the contract for the first time – are all positive intentions.
However, whilst the overall direction is on track, the Association’s members are keen to take this consultation period to examine the recommendations in detail.
