Question
To ask the Scottish Government how many applications under the Scottish Dental Access Initiative in the NHS Dumfries and Galloway area have been (a) made and (b) approved in each of the last 12 months.
Answer
NHS Boards are responsible for receiving and approving applications for the Scottish Dental Access Initiative (SDAI). Successful applications are then sent to the Scottish Government for processing.
As such, the Scottish Government does not hold information on how many SDAI applications have been received in the NHS Borders area, and this information is held by the Health Board.
There have been no applications sent to Scottish Government in the last 12 months.
