NHS Dental Services at Abbey Dental Practice 17 March 2009 The Department of Health and Social Security would like to assure all patients who currently receive NHS dental services at the Abbey Dental Practice that they will be placed with an alternative NHS dentist following the decision taken by the practice to terminate its NHS contract. The practice, based in Ballasalla, has been providing NHS Dental Services since January 2008 but, having taken the decision to terminate its NHS contract, will no longer be providing NHS dentistry with effect from the 8th May 2009. NHS patients should continue to attend any appointments that they have booked with the practice prior to this date. All NHS patients currently based at the practice should, by now, have received a letter from the Department advising them of their new NHS dental arrangements unless they wish to stay with Abbey Dental as a private patient. Any NHS patients of the practice who do not receive a letter in the next few days should contact the Department on 642694. Dave Kissack, Acting General Manager, Primary Care said, “I am delighted that the Department has so quickly secured alternative NHS treatment for all the patients affected by the practice’s decision and would like to assure all NHS patients of the continuation of their NHS dental service at an alternative practice”.
