# The National Health Service (Dentists' Remuneration-Special Arrangement) Order 1991, Note: Explanatory note


(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order confers on the Dental Practice Board the function of paying remuneration to dentists who provide general dental services (article 2(1)) subject to the retention by Family Health Services Authorities of the function of paying salaried dentists and incentive scheme allowances (article 2(2)).
Article 3(1) provides for the consequent transfer of rights and liabilities in respect of deductions from, and assignment of, payment for the benefit of third parties. Article 2(1) does not apply in any case where, before 1st April 1991, the Dental Practice Board has authorised a Family Health Services Authority to pay a dentist’s remuneration and the Authority has not paid that remuneration by that date (article 3(3)).
