DDRB says 1.8% gross, but Hunt says 1%

DDRB says 2.5% gross, but Hunt says 1%

The DDRB recommended at 2.5% rise in gross fees for general dental services, but in a written Ministerial Statement, released on 13th March 2014, Jeremy Hunt, Secretary of State for Health, said:

  in respect of General Dental Practitioners (GDPs), we accept its recommendation for an increase of 1% to general dental practitioners’ income after allowing for movement in their expenses, but abate the increase in the general dental service contract for GDP staff costs from the recommended 2.5% to 1%. This results in an overall uplift of 1.6% to be applied to gross earnings for independent dental contractors for 2014-15.

Dental leaders see this as a cut when considered in real terms, read more for quotes.
