Regulation 14 Emergency dental services

Changes not yet applied. Later legislation changes this provision in ways not yet written into the text below:

(1)

A Board may make arrangements, with any dentist whose name is included in the dental list, for the provision of treatment for urgent cases at health premises when dentists in its area or part of its area are not normally available to provide general dental services.

(2)

In this regulation an “urgent case” means any circumstances in which, in the opinion of the dentist, a patient needs immediate treatment for an acute condition.
