Regulation 14 Emergency dental services

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

(1)

An FHSA may make arrangements with any dentist whose name is included in its dental list for the provision of treatment in urgent cases at a health centre when dentists in its locality or part of its locality, are not normally available to provide general dental services.

(2)

In this regulation an “urgent case” means any circumstances in which, in the opinion of the dentist, a patient needs immediate treatment for an acute condition.
