9 Jul 2025Health and Social Care Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1179)

What percentage of new graduates are staying in NHS dentistry for three years at the moment?

16
9 Jul 2025Health and Social Care Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1179)

Will you require them to do up to three years of exclusively NHS work, or only some?

17
9 Jul 2025Health and Social Care Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1179)

Do you know what percentage it will be?

Before we talk about underspends, are you prepared to consider salaried dentists?

12
9 Jul 2025Health and Social Care Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1179)

Generally, as part of resolving the problem. Ed, you made a face. Do you want to respond?

17
9 Jul 2025Health and Social Care Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1179)

A very interesting resting face.

9 Jul 2025Health and Social Care Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1179)

Will you be consulting on having more salaried dentists?

9
9 Jul 2025Health and Social Care Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1179)

Is it worth considering?

9 Jul 2025Health and Social Care Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1179)

That is very helpful. We have talked a lot about underspends, so forgive me for asking a final question on that. Is there not an argument for just rolling over the underspends into the following year? I am coming back to the question of ringfencing, because I think it was not sufficiently answered in the previous sessi

In the ICB? At the moment, you have a situation where ICBs are required to ringfence the funding, but they do not actually observe the ringfence, so it does not seem to be enforced. When you say it is ringfenced, it is not in practice.

We heard in the previous session that money was being taken from the underspend and spent on other things.

19
9 Jul 2025Health and Social Care Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1179)

They were mistaken?

9 Jul 2025Health and Social Care Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1179)

If we look at all the 100-and-whatever ICBs in the country, would we find that it had not happened in any of them?

23
9 Jul 2025Health and Social Care Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1179)

If you monitor it already, what figure are you expecting to come up with this year?

16
9 Jul 2025Health and Social Care Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1179)

I remember from sitting on an ICB that there was quite a hefty discussion about what it was doing with the underspend, and the implication was that it was being spent on other things.

34
9 Jul 2025Health and Social Care Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1179)

You are pulling it back?

5
9 Jul 2025Health and Social Care Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1179)

Why don’t you leave it with them and let them spend it in the following year? Why are you pulling it back?

22
9 Jul 2025Health and Social Care Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1179)

In the brave new world that we are meant to be in, and in trying to be a different sort of Government doing things in different ways, why not leave the money with them and insist that they spend it on dentistry in the following year?

46
9 Jul 2025Health and Social Care Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1179)

Is that a discussion you are prepared to have with the Treasury?
