NHS Dentists

• The questions regarding Local NHS Dentists were commissioned by Poole PCT to review if they are getting the message and information about access to NHS dentists to residents.

• The findings will be reported to the Dorset and Somerset Strategic Health Authority, who will report in turn to the Department of Health.

• The questions will also inform the PCT whether:

• they are providing enough access to the out of hours service and

• patients go directly to the correct source of help rather than being passed from pillar to post.

NHS Dentists

• The results are significant by age, area and mosaic group.

• There are no significant differences when looking at the results by gender.
