# The National Health Service (General Dental Services) (Amendment) (No.2) (Wales) Regulations 2001, Note: Explanatory note


(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations further amend the National Health Service (General Dental Services) Regulations 1992 (S.I.1992/661) (“the principal Regulations”) which regulate the terms upon which general dental services are provided under the National Health Service Act 1977.
The Regulations amend regulation 19(1) of the principal Regulations so that the entry for the subject matter for determination VIII, “Continuing professional development allowances” is substituted for “Postgraduate education allowances” and a new determination X is added, the subject matter of which is “Clinical audit allowances”.
The Regulations further amend Schedule 1 to the principal Regulations which sets out the terms of service applicable to dentists who are on a Health Authority’s dental list. Three new terms of service are added so that a dentist must undertake, over successive three year periods, 15 hours of activities involving clinical audit, establish and operate a practice based quality assurance system and make an annual return to the Health Authority in respect of that system.
