Primary care trusts (PCTs) commission dental services from local dental providers. Information is collected centrally on the number of contracts each PCT holds and the units of dental activity (UDAs) these represent. UDAs are a way of measuring and giving relative weight to the courses of treatment given to patients. The latest information showing the total number of UDAs commissioned as at 31 March 2007 by PCT and the same data expressed per head of population are set out in tables which have been placed in the Library. The latest available population data are as at 2005.
