The National Health Service (General Dental Services) Amendment Regulations 1987
These Regulations amend the National Health Service (General Dental Services) Regulations 1973 (“the principal Regulations”) by the insertion of a new Part VIA into those Regulations. They make provision for payments to be made to dentists whose registration under the Dentists Act 1984 is suspended by an interim suspension order or by a direction or an order of the Health Committee. Under section 35(3) of the National Health Service Act 1977 a dentist with whom arrangements have been made for the provision of general dental services whose registration is so suspended may not provide the services in person during the suspension, though the suspension does not terminate the arrangements.
