The contract requires practices to agree to perform a set number of UDAs - and they are penalised if they come in below or above this. A check-up is worth one UDA while giving a patient a filling racks up three UDAs.
Rob told the Mirror: “We are being penalised for preventing patients requiring more UDAs. We have £150,000 ‘claw back’ this year but we have 19,000 NHS patients which is more than the practice has ever had. The clawback is for not doing enough UDAs but when patients are being looked after better they don’t have as much need for dental work.”
Capitalism rots literally everything. Somehow, having good dental health and the NHS not needing to give money for filling is bad???
Edit: Oh wait, I didn’t read that well. You are also penalised if you come above it! Holy shit, what?
