Dentists win in Court of Appeal against clawback

Dentists win in Court of Appeal

Two dentists from Powys Wales, Piotr Dusza and Hako Sobhani, have won their case in the Court of Appeal. They took their local Health Board to judicial review after the latter refused to pay for courses of treatment where no specific mention was made of a clinical examination having been carried out. The dentists won the case, but the Health Board had appealed.

GDPUK believes this case may help other dentists who have similar cases of clawback.
