Some dentists have been going private because of the costs of delivering NHS dental care
The British Dental Association has welcomed efforts to maintain vital financial support for the struggling service but is warning that more certainty is needed.
In a letter to all general dental practitioners in Northern Ireland, a DoH spokesperson said it understood "that uncertainty over longer term arrangements causes issues for practices, however due to the current financial challenges facing the Department, it is not possible to provide a further commitment at this time."
Ciara Gallagher, Chair of the BDA’s Northern Ireland Dental Practice Committee said: “We recognise the concerted effort that has been put in to ensure this vital support will remain in place. “Below-inflation uplifts which bear no resemblance to soaring costs of care will no longer cut it. We must use the next three months to put dentistry on a sustainable footing.”
