Dental Payment System

The dataset is extracted from the Family Practitioner Services dental payment system and relates to HSCNI General Dental Services activity. This payment system began operation in December 2014, with the first associated payment being made in January 2015. Data covers patient details, patient registrations, treatments, dentist contracts, dental premises and payment details. Seven years of historical data was migrated over, where possible, to this system in December 2014, however new tables were not always in the same format as old, so historical data is not always comparable. This information does not include any dental treatments delivered by Trust based dental services or any treatments carried out privately by health service dentists.
