Q Guidelines Required

I recently read an article but I cant remember where and it was that eventually it will not be the PCT’s that fund DP’s it will be another source / organisation.

I cannot remember the source / organisation and wondered if you know who and if we have any more info re this topic?

A This is certainly a growing problem and one which should be dealt with very carefully.

After a lot of discussion with colleagues and dentists we feel the best course of action would be for you to contact the BDA and ask them to send you their latest guidelines. I have received their information and it contains details of organisations you can contact for more advice and help. Alternatively, ring Dental Protection and quote your membership number and they will also send you their latest guidelines and legal requirements.
