The question
To ask the Scottish Executive how many salaried general dental practitioners are in post in each NHS board area, expressed also as whole-time equivalents.
The answer
The responsibility for employing salaried dentists rests with NHS boards. Not all salaried dentist posts are filled by a single dentist, for example some posts are jointly filled by a number of dentists.

No information is held centrally on the whole-time equivalence of salaried dentists or joint CDS/GDS postholders.
