(a) Dental workforce data presented here shows the total number of dentists with any NHS activity recorded between 1 April and 31 March. Note that this is a headcount; whole time equivalent data is not available.
(b) Figures are unique counts. So a person who has a contract in more than one local health board (LHB) would appear once against each LHB. Therefore the figures cannot be summed by LHB.
