Tom Cox: To ask the Secretary of State for Health how many dentists working within the London borough of Wandsworth provide national health service dental treatment within their practice; and if he will make a statement. [173077] Mr. Hutton: Data for number of dentists is not collected by London borough area. The number of national health service dentists in Wandsworth Primary Care Trust (PCT) at 30 September 2003 is shown in the table. National health service: Number of dentists in Wandsworth PCT area--30 September 2003 _________________________________________________________________________________________________. Primary care trust Wandsworth PCT General dental service (GDS) 121 Community dental service (CDS) 27 Salaried 4 Total 152 _________________________________________________________________________________________________. Dentists can work in more than one PCT area. GDS dentists numbers are for those whose main dental work is in the Wandworth PCT area. Therefore, dentists who do some work in this area but more in another PCT have not been included. Dentists in the GDS include principals, assistants and vocational dental practitioners. These figures are on a headcount basis rather than whole-time equivalent basis and therefore take no account of part-time working.

Mr. Oaten: To ask the Secretary of State for Health what action is being taken to train more people in (a) prosthetics and (b) orthodontics. [172396] Mr. Hutton: The number of training places in prosthetics and orthodontics has increased from 28 to 30 between 1996-97 and 2002-03 and the workforce review team annually reviews the need for increases in training for all the allied health professions. Information on the number of consultants and doctors in training in orthodontics is shown in the table. The Department has centrally funded two more training posts in orthodontics in 2004-05, bringing the total training posts in place to 31. The number of dentists electing to train in specialties like orthodontics is related to the number of undergraduates training as dentists relative to the demand for dental care. We have recently completed the first review of the dental workforce since 1987 and will shortly be announcing the results including the implications for the intake of undergraduates to dental schools in England.

Mr. Burns: To ask the Secretary of State for Health how many (a) practising dentists and (b) dentist practices there are in Greater London; and how many there were in May 1997. [101306] Mr. Hutton: 3,130 general dental service (GDS) dentists were practising dentistry in 1,478 practices in the London national health service region at 30 June 2002. This compares to 2,884 GDS dentists practising in 1,458 practices at 30 June 1997. 470 and 230 dentists were working in the hospital dental service (HDS) and community dental service (CDS) in the London NHS region at 30 September 2002, this compares with 450 and 240 dentists respectively at 30 September 1997. Also 43 dentists were working in the personal dental service (PDS) in the London NHS region at 30 September 2002 who were not also working in the GDS. The PDS began in October 1998. Information on the number of practices for those dental services is not available. Most of the dental services are provided on community or hospital trust premises. The number of GDS dentists includes principals on a strategic health authority list, their assistants and vocational dental practitioners in the GDS in England. The figures for the number of GDS dentists are on a headcount basis rather than a whole time equivalent basis and therefore take no account of part-time working. CDS dentists provide NHS dental services in "high street" practices and carry out the majority of NHS dental treatment in the United Kingdom. The proportion of NHS or private dental treatment that a CDS dentist provides is solely at the discretion of the dentist. CDS dentists are required to provide a full range of NHS treatment to maintain the oral health of the patients that are registered with them for capitation (children) or continuing care (adults). Patients wishing to register with a GDS dentist can obtain details of dentists accepting new patients in their area by contacting NHS Direct.

Three month vacancies are vacancies which trusts are actively trying to fill, which had lasted for three months or more (whole time equivalents). 3. Three month vacancy rates are three month vacancies expressed as a percentage of three month vacancies plus staff in post. 4. Three month vacancy rates are calculated using staff in post from the Vacancy Survey and the Consultant Census, March 2002. 5. Staff in post data is from the Mini Consultant Census, March 2002. 6. Staff in post data excludes staff employed by health authorities, as vacancy information was only collected from trusts, PCTs and special health authorities. 7. Medical and dental figures exclude staff in training. 8. Vacancy and staff in post numbers are rounded to the whole number. 9. Percentages are rounded to one decimal place. 10. --= figures where sum of staff in post and vacancies is zero 11. Calculating the vacancy rates using the above data may not equal the actual vacancy rates. 12. HA figures are based on trusts, and do not necessarily reflect the geographical provision of healthcare. 13. Figures may not match previously published data due to a different method of rounding used on the staff in post data.
