The question
To ask the Scottish Executive what percentage of three to five-year-olds were registered with an NHS dentist in each of the last three years for which information is available, broken down by community health partnership.
The answer
The information requested is not available prior to March 2007 for all community health partnership areas. The tables present information as at March, June, September and December 2007. They do not represent the percentages of people in each Community Health Partnership who are registered. Registrations (numerator) are based on the postcode of the practice where the patient has registered with a general dental practitioner. The population (denominator) is based on where the patient resides, in this case the Community Health Partnership. In some cases, the number of registrations may exceed the actual number of “people” in the chosen population.
