Paragraph 10 Lapse of continuing care or capitation arrangement

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

Where a dentist does not agree to the extension of a continuing care arrangement or a capitation arrangement (under paragraph 8 or 9), he shall—

(a)

give notice in writing to the patient not later than 3 months, or such shorter period as may be reasonable in the circumstances, before the date on which the arrangement is due to lapse; and

(b)

use his best endeavours to complete satisfactorily before that date any care and treatment which he has agreed to provide for the patient and which is outstanding and any further treatment that may be necessary to secure and maintain his oral health.
