To ask the Scottish Government how often practitioners will be subject to the unannounced inspection of dental practices.

Answer · Maureen Watt · 2 Mar 2016

All NHS dental practices are subject to a routine inspection by the health board on a three-year cycle. An unannounced inspection will be made if, following a routine inspection, a patient safety issue has arisen and needs to be followed up by the board, or where the NHS board receives information that necessitates immediate further investigation.

To ask the Scottish Government for what reason it did not hold a consultation regarding the introduction of regulations to allow for the unannounced inspection of dental practices.

Answer · Maureen Watt · 10 Mar 2016

There is no requirement to consult on proposed amendments to the NHS (General Dental Services) (Scotland) Regulations.
However, it is standard practice to inform relevant stakeholders of forthcoming amendments to regulations in advance of their parliamentary laying period. Therefore a copy of proposed amendments to the regulations, including an amendment to allow unannounced dental practice inspections, was sent by officials to the British Dental Association (Scotland) on 7 January 2016.
