On behalf of your NHS England and Improvement regional dental commissioning team, the Community Dental Services (CDS) data collection survey will continue with quarterly collections during 2022-23. Collecting this data will:
- provide a national picture of waiting times across CDS
- feed into a wider programme of work looking at backlog of care and the restoration of services
- feed into the secondary care recovery program
The next four CDS waiting list data collection dates are:
| Data collection window | CDS data to submit |
|---|---|
| 1 July - 14 July 2022 | June 2022 |
| 1 October - 14 October 2022 | September 2022 |
| 1 January - 14 January 2023 | December 2022 |
| 1 April - 14 April 2023 | March 2023 |
The survey will close at 11:59pm on each closing date.
