Performance reports to Council
The Council has delegated detailed scrutiny and monitoring of organisational performance to its non-statutory Committees. This will include analysis of data around our Registration processes, our quality assurance of dental education, our fitness to practise caseload and the Dental Complaints Service. These Committees report publicly to the Council at its quarterly meetings. The Council also receives an annual overall organisational performance report that it discusses in public session. The annual performance report and quarterly assurance reports given by the Committee Chairs can be downloaded from Council meeting papers.
Registrant reports
Our monthly registrant reports give details about professionals on our registers, including:
- Total number of registrants.
- Types of registrants - including breakdown by England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland by the registered address.
- Numbers of dentists on specialist lists.
