English Contractor Monthly General Dental and Orthodontic Contractual Dataset

Dataset Description

This dataset allows you to look at the commissioned activity and contractual payments for all NHS Dental Services provided for each financial year, at national, commissioner and contract level. These are provided each month because contracts can change during a financial year. You can compare the general and orthodontic services commissioned to that provided/delivered in the contract data. This will give you an idea of how areas of contracts are performing.

The dataset is released at individual dental contract level and only relates to contracts that provide General NHS Dental Services. However, they do contain information on all service lines held by that contract. This dataset will not give the whole picture of NHS dentistry in England as it is possible for other dental services to be commissioned locally.

You can read more about this dataset in the English Contractor Monthly General Dental and Orthodontic Contractual dataset guidance documentation (ODT: 223 KB).

You can view all definitions for the fields included in the dataset in the English Contractor Monthly General Dental and Orthodontic Contractual Dataset data dictionary (XLSX: 21KB)

We also publish the English Contractor Monthly General Activity Dental Activity dataset and the English Contractor Monthly Orthodontic Dental Activity dataset.
