Dental Commissioning Statistics, England – June 2015
These statistics show the volume of units of dental activity (UDAs) commissioned by the 13 Regional Teams as at the end of each quarter, for the preceding 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).
Key findings this quarter:
- 89.2 million UDAs had been commissioned as at 30 June 2015.
- This is 294,000 higher (0.3% increase) compared to UDAs commissioned the previous year, and 518,000 higher (0.6% increase) compared to the previous quarter.
- A quality checking exercise that was carried out in May 2014 led to improvements in reporting, that contributed to decreases in the reported numbers of UDAs commissioned compared to the previous year, for several quarters. The increase in commissioned UDAs shown in this quarter suggests that reporting practices have now been stable for at least one year.
- UDAs commissioned but not yet delivering services represent 0.01% (13,000) of all UDAs commissioned this quarter.
