To ask the Scottish Government whether it can provide a breakdown of the number of (a) dentists and (b) dental care professionals registered as (i) UK, (ii) EU, and (iii) overseas domiciled, in each year since 2015.
Information on the number of dentists is provided by NHS Education for Scotland and can be found at: Data tables | Turas Data Intelligence (nhs.scot)
We do not hold information on country of origin of dentists, nor information on Dental Care Professionals as this group is in the main employed by independent dental practices.
