NHS dental patient charges to rise
Health Minister Earl Howe has announced rise in NHS charges in England from April 1, 2013. He said: “Dental charges represent an important contribution to the overall cost of dental services. The exact amount raised will be dependent upon the level and type of primary dental care services commissioned by the NHS Commissioning Board and the proportion of charge-paying patients who attend dentists and the level of treatment they require."

From April 1, 2013 in England, NHS charges will rise as follows:

  • The charge payable for a band one course of treatment will increase by 50p from £17.50 to £18.
  • The charge for a band 2 course of treatment will increase by £1 from £48 to £49.
  • The charge for a band 3 course of treatment will increase by £5 from £209 to £214.
