Market Study - Private Dentistry

The Office of Fair Trading published a Market Study into the private dentistry market on 26 March, recommending strengthening and broadening of statutory controls on private dentists.

The OFT Report was in response to a super-complaint made by the Consumers' Association in October 2001. The OFT argued that the market is not working well for consumers and suggest that 'measures to improve the consumer information, to make self-regulation work effectively, and to lift unnecessary regulation should make the private dental market work better for consumers'.

The Government responded positively on 23 June 2003
