  "short_title": "National Health Service (General Dental Services) 1993",
  "long_title": "These Regulations further amend the National Health Service (General Dental Services) Regulations 1992 by providing that an FHSA shall not include any dentist in its dental list unless satisfied that he has completed a period of vocational training, or has acquired dental experience or training which may be regarded as the equivalent of such training, or is within one of the specified categories of exemption from the vocational training requirements. The FHSA has the function of allocating a vocational training number to an applicant where it is so satisfied and the regulations provide for a right of appeal and for appeal procedures in cases where the FHSA determines not to allocate a vocational training number. The right of appeal is to the body specified in and set up by these Regulations. The functions of FHSAs under these Regulations are all to be exercised by a Special Health Authority called the Dental Vocational Training Authority.",
