LONDON, UK: According to the British Dental Association (BDA), deductions on patient charge revenue have become a major issue for GDP when dealing with the NHS. The organisation has now reached out to members to explain their case in order to prepare a legal case against the practice.
After consultation with its lawyers, the BDA announced that there is a strong case against the legitimacy of NHS England’s approach to patient charge revenue. Dentists who feel affected are requested to deliver their case through the BDA’s website. These are supposed to form the basis of a potential High Court challenge that could be worth thousands of Pounds, the organisation said.
The BDA argues that NHS England's heavy handed approach to patient charge revenue means that many dentists suffer financial losses simply for providing their patients with the necessary care.
“We’ve already been able to secure concessions from NHS England for the manifold failures by Capita on performer lists our members highlighted. Over 500 foundation dentists who faced having to stop working at the start of December, can now continue,” commented BDA Vice Chair Eddie Crouch.
“Claims that would have fallen foul of the two-month rule due to slow performer attachments are now being permitted. We’re making progress, but there is so much more we can do,” he continued. “I urge all BDA members to raise this issue with colleagues and encourage them to share their experiences.”
