Paragraph 38D Declaration of incomplete complex care pathwayF1
If the complex care pathway is brought to an end before all the dental services set out in the appropriate entry in Table C of Schedule 2 have been completed, the contractor must submit a declaration of incomplete complex care pathway to NHS England by means of electronic submission containing the information specified in sub-paragraph (2), subject to sub-paragraph (4).
The information referred to in sub-paragraph (1) is—
the reason the complex care pathway is incomplete;
the extent of treatment that has been provided to the patient as part of the complex care pathway up to and including the date of the declaration of incomplete complex care pathway; and
details of which modifiable risk factors have been addressed.
The contractor must submit the declaration of incomplete complex care pathway within two months of—
the date the contractor ceased to provide dental services under the complex care pathway; or
the end of the—
6 month period beginning with the date of commencement of the complex care pathway, in the case of dental services provided under complex care pathway 1 or complex care pathway 3;
12 month period beginning with the date of commencement of the complex care pathway, in the case of dental services provided under complex care pathway 2,
whichever is the earlier.
A contractor must not submit a declaration of incomplete complex care pathway where—
the patient has not been provided with any dental services under the complex care pathway following a period of suspension; or
all interim declarations in accordance with paragraph 38B have been submitted.
NHS England may accept submission of the information in this paragraph in paper form in such exceptional circumstances as NHS England may reasonably determine.
