Sir Nicholas Soames: To ask the Secretary of State for Health, what assessment he has made of the performance of Capita in administrating the National Dental Performers' List; and if he will make a statement.

David Mowat, Parliamentary Under Secretary of State for Community Health and Care: Delays to dental performers being added to the Dental Performers List have affected dental practitioners and their businesses. My hon. Friend the Parliamentary Under Secretary for Public Health and Innovation (Nicola Blackwood) is working directly with Capita and NHS England to ensure that services for dentistry and other key services are restored to an acceptable and sustainable standard.
