The National Health Service (Dental Charges) (Wales) Regulations 2006

These Regulations revoke and replace the National Health Service (Dental Charges) Regulations 1989 (“the 1989 Regulations”), as amended. They provide for the making and recovery of charges for the provision of dental treatment and the supply of dental appliances under the National Health Service Act 1977 (“the Act”) and reflect the new dental charging powers in section 79 of, and Schedule 12ZA to, the Act, which were inserted by section 183 of the Health and Social Care (Community Health and Standards) Act 2003 as a substitute for sections 78A, 79 and 79A, and for the paragraphs of Schedule 12 to the Act which dealt with dental charges.
