Executive Summary

This quarterly report covers information on all patients in England who receive NHS dental care, including the number of courses of NHS treatment, for the first quarter of 2015/16 (1 April 2015 to 30 June 2015).

It also covers the numbers of NHS patients seen and the percentage of the population of NHS patients seen, in the 24 month period up to 30 September 2015.

This information is used by the Department of Health to inform government policy of NHS dentistry and by local NHS managers in the planning and delivery of local dental services. The report is based on data collected on each course of NHS dental treatment by NHS Dental Services, part of the NHS Business Services Authority.

Key Facts A total of 30.0 million patients were seen in the 24 month period ending 30 September 2015, an increase of 1.9 million on the March 2006 baseline. This represents 55.8 per cent of the population compared with the March 2006 baseline of 55.6 per cent.

The number of children seen by an NHS dentist stands at 8.0 million, 2.7 per cent above the March 2006 baseline of 7.8 million, although the percentage of children seen (69.6 per cent) is below the March 2006 baseline (70.2 per cent).

There were 9.6 million courses of treatments1 (CoT) in quarter 1 of 2015/16, a decrease of 31,964 (-0.3 per cent) on quarter 1 of 2014/15. The CoT have increased for Band 1 treatments and decreased for all other treatment bands for the same time period.

During quarter 1 of 2015/16 paying adults accounted for the largest percentage of patients receiving treatment in each treatment band with the exception of Band 3 treatments, where non-paying adults received 50.3 per cent of these treatments. The greater provision of more complex treatments (Band 3) to non-paying adults, compared with other patient types, may reflect a lower standard of dental health among these patients. This is supported by findings from the Adult Dental Health Survey 20092.

Further Information The current dental contract was introduced in 2006. The total number of patients seen reached its lowest point in June 2008, and has generally increased gradually since this point (slight decreases in June 2012 and September 2013).

Practice level data for patients seen are now available for the 24 months up to 30 June 2015 as part of the NHS Dental Statistics annual report published on 20 August 2015 at: http://www.hscic.gov.uk/pubs/dental1415

Introduction

This quarterly report brings together information on NHS dental activity3 and workforce in England. This information is used by the Department of Health (DoH) to inform government policy on NHS dentistry and by local NHS managers in the planning and delivery of local dental services.

More specifically, this report includes information on:

Courses of Treatment (CoT)

Units of Dental Activity (UDA)

Patients Seen

This report covers dental activity carried out by ‘high street dentists’ including work undertaken by dentists under vocational training. It does not, however, cover dental treatment carried out in hospital under ‘Hospital Dental Services’, nor services provided privately.

Users should be aware of the Data Quality Statement that accompanies this report, and is available at: http://www.hscic.gov.uk/pubs/dental1516q1

For an introduction to the terms and measures used in this report, we recommend reading our Guide to Dental Publications available at: http://www.hscic.gov.uk/pubs/dental1516q1

In addition, full technical information is available in Annex 3 of this report.

This report covers activity data under the current dental contract arrangements, including data (provisional and estimated) at specified dates from 2006/07 to the end of the first quarter of 2015/16 (30 June 2015). Numbers of patients seen by NHS dentists are slightly more up-to-date, including figures for the 24 month period to the end of the second quarter of 2015/16 (30 September 2015).

Dental activity data are provisional each quarter until final figures are available at the end of the year. The Health and Social Care Information Centre (HSCIC) provides national estimates for each quarter available based on these provisional data.

Population based measures use population estimates provided by the Office of National Statistics (ONS). Revisions to estimates4 dating back to pre-2000 mean historic ‘percentage of the population’ figures appearing in publications released since quarter 1 of 2013/14 (patients seen during the 24 months up to 30 September 2013) will differ to those figures appearing in publications prior to that. Annex 5 of the quarter 3 2013/145 publication shows revised figures for patients seen as a percentage of the population at England level.

Due to changes in NHS structure from April 2015, data at Area Team level will not be shown from Q1 2015/16 in any report or annexes, the new NHS Commissioning Regions will be shown in Annex 2 of this report.

Please note the changes to Tables 1b and 2b, which now show provisional data rather than the estimated data shown in previous publications.

Neither CCGs nor LAs are directly accountable for commissioning NHS primary care dental services, however, in order to provide a suitable level of geographic granularity and relevance to the health services we have opted to provide these data at CCG level. In addition, local authorities

have responsibility for commissioning public health services, which includes dental and oral health programmes; so we have also presented data at this level.

We have changed the way we aggregate our source data to a geographical area. The postcode in the source data is used to determine its corresponding CCG, NHS Geography Region, NHS Commissioning Region and Local Authority. This has not changed. However, where we are unable to map a postcode to a geography region, we no longer used the codes provided in the source data as they are no longer valid. The result of this is that we have unallocated data at NHS Geography Regions and NHS Commissioning Regions.

In addition, processes dating back to Q1 2013/14 mapped a postcode to a geographical area each time we published. This meant that all historic mappings were updated each time we published and were true at the time of the current publication but not true as at the original publication. This is no longer the case. All data up to and including Q4 of 2014/15 for activity data and Q1 of 2015/16 for patients seen data have been mapped to new geographies which are true at the time of this publication, due to the new NHS geographies. Going forward, these will not be updated.

The following annexes are available within this report;

Annex 1 includes all report tables and charts in Excel format. This annex also contains patient seen tables by adult/child at sub-region and region level.

Annex 2 shows patients seen figures, both absolute numbers and as a percentage of the population, at region, sub-region, CCG and LA levels in Excel format.

Annex 3 includes full technical information on the measures and definitions used in the report.

Annex 4 contains ‘flat’ csv files of unformatted activity and patients seen data, suitable for further analysis. Annex 4 (Patients Seen) contains patient seen data for the most recent quarter. The population estimates in this annex allow users to calculate patients seen as a percentage of the population.

Activity

Courses of Treatment Dental activity is measured through the number of Courses of Treatment (CoT) delivered. For a full definition of CoT and treatment bands, please refer to Annex 3.

There were 9.6 million CoT carried out in quarter 1 of 2015/16 (provisionally), (Table 1a), a decrease of 31,964 (-0.3 per cent) on quarter 1 of 2014/15.

In absolute terms, Band 1 CoT had the largest absolute change from quarter 1 last year (Table 1b) with an increase of 55,652 (1.0 per cent). In relative terms, Band 3 treatments experienced the greatest change compared with the same quarter in the previous year; a decrease of 3.0 per cent.

Table 1d indicates that when compared to the corresponding quarter in 2014/15, the number of CoT increased in the North and London regions and decreased in the Midlands and East and the South regions. The largest decrease was seen in the South of England, with a decrease of 1.7 per cent; with an overall decrease of 0.3 per cent at England level.

The North region delivers the most CoT overall in England. Band 1 treatments are more numerous in the North, whilst London carries out a higher proportion of Band 2, Band 3 and Urgent treatments.

Units of Dental Activity Units of dental activity (UDA) are weighted CoT. The measure is used in the funding of NHS dental activity and in setting contracts with NHS dentists. More information is available in Annex 3.

There were 20.7 million UDA carried out provisionally during quarter 1 of 2015/16, a decrease of 299,250 (1.4 per cent) on the same quarter last year.

As UDA are weighted CoT, changes in UDA by each band is similar to those for CoT, with the exception of Other (as there are multiple weightings in this band). The largest absolute change in UDA between quarter 1 2014/15 and provisional quarter 1 of 2015/16 was for Band 3, decreasing by 184,380 (3.0 per cent).

Patients Seen

This section shows the number of individual patients who received care or treatment from an NHS dentist at least once in the most recent 24-month period. Note that orthodontic patients are included in the patient seen measure. The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) recommends that patients are recalled for check-ups at intervals of 3 months to 24 months depending on the individual’s oral health status.

The patients seen measure is more up-to-date than the activity figures. In this report, we show the number of patients seen up to the 30 September 2015, the second quarter of 2015/16.

In the 24 month period ending 30 September 2015:

The total number of patients seen by an NHS dentist is at 30.0 million, and continues to remain above the baseline figure of 28.1 million patients. This is an increase of 16,808 patients (0.1 per cent) on the previous quarter.

Table 3a shows that the number of adult patients seen by an NHS dentist has decreased by 2,222 since the previous quarter and increased by 1.7 million since the March 2006 baseline date. The number of children seen by an NHS dentist is 2.7 per cent above the March 2006 baseline of 7.8 million though the percentage of children seen (69.6 per cent) remains below the baseline (70.2 per cent).

Table 3b shows that in quarter 2, the percentage of the population seen by an NHS dentist exceeds the March 2006 baseline in the North and South regions (note that the distribution of data between regions for March 2006 is estimated).

The longest interval between visits for children, as recommended by NICE, is 12 months. The number of children seen by an NHS dentist in the 12 months up to 30 June 2015 was 7.2 million. This equates to 62.7 per cent of the child population6.

6 These figures are only currently available at national level. This figure is therefore not presented in any table.
