This letter advises of an amendment to the ‘Deemed NHS Committed’ Status for New Practices Claiming Additional General Dental Practice Allowance (GDPA) and Reimbursement of Practice Rental Costs.
With effect from 1 November 2015 new practices will no longer be automatically deemed NHS committed for the purpose of entitlement to additional GDPA payment of 6% and reimbursement of practice rental costs.
New practices in a SDAI designated area are exempt from this new provision.
