Response

Question 1 and 3

A copy of the information is attached.

Guidance Notes

This report contains the details from FP17s processed for the period stated (Year Month and Contract End Date Greater than or equal to 202304). The information within the report includes the data items and descriptions listed below.

Contract Number: This is a unique 10 character number which identifies a contract.

Commissioner Code: This is the 3 character code associated with the Commissioning Organisation. This a generic term used to denote health bodies, either Area Teams in England or Health Boards in Wales. Also known as Primary Care Organisations (PCOs).

Provider Name: The name of the provider.

Provider Number: The number of the provider.

UDA Performance Target: The contracted units of dental activity to be achieved for the year, as entered on CoMPASS by the PCO.

UDA Financial Value: The financial value associated with the UDA performance target for the financial year, as entered on CoMPASS by the PCO.

Please be aware that I have decided not to release full details of all provider and contract email addresses as this information falls under the exemption in Section 40 subsections 2 and 3(A)(a) of the Freedom of Information Act.

This is because it would breach the first data protection principle as:

a) It is not fair to disclose these people’s personal details to the world and is likely to cause damage or distress.

b) These details are not of sufficient interest to the public to warrant an intrusion into the privacy of the dentist’s.
