April 2020 to herald the new NHS dental contract

The timetable for introducing the new NHS general dental services contract has been delivered at a briefing from the Department of Health and NHS England, and set to commence from April 2020.
Eric Rooney, Consultant in Dental Public Health at Public Health England and Deputy Chief Dental Officer England, said: “We are working towards this timetable, and it is our intention to roll out the contract reform, but it is not definite and depends on the ability to get legislation through parliament to be able to proceed. There are also corporate decisions to be made in the Department of Health too.”
