These statistics show the volume of units of dental activity (UDAs) commissioned by NHS Area Teams as at the end of each quarter, for the proceeding 12 months.

The figures are broken down into two groups:

• UDAs commissioned where the dental service is being provided;

• UDAs commissioned in contracts not yet delivering services (for example, UDAs in new contracts, where the contract has been signed but the dental activity has not yet started).

This data shows the number of Units of Dental Activity (UDAs) commissioned as at 30 September 2013.

Key findings this quarter:

• All 25 Area Teams returned data.

• 89.2 million UDAs had been commissioned as at 30^th September 2013.

• This is 119,000 lower (0.1% decrease) than the UDAs commissioned compared to the previous year, and 84,000 higher (0.1% increase) compared to the previous quarter.

• UDAs commissioned but not yet delivering services represent less than 0.1% (78,000) of all UDAs commissioned this quarter.
