    17 April 2020 page 1 of 4 By email only Rebecca Evans AM Minister for Finance and Trefnydd [email protected] Ken Skates AM Minister for Economy, Transport and North Wales [email protected] Dear Ministers, Ms Evans AM and Mr Skates AM Dental practices and critical need for business support We need to bring to your attention the precarious position of many dental practices operating in Wales that have lost substantial private income sources overnight since all routine dentistry was halted from mid-March in response to COVID-19. Dental practices are independent businesses and are exposed to many of the same financial conditions that other types of businesses have faced with lockdown, but without the same eligibility for government support. The new Economic Resilience Fund in Wales launching today is unlikely to help many practices because the scheme is clearly aimed at businesses with employees rather than contractors. Most dentists in General Dentistry in England and Wales are contractors not employees. The same is true for dental therapists and hygienists. Moreover, many dentists have been personally financially exposed due to lack of any support for their private income loss, if normally earning over £50K. While the Minister for Health and Social Services has acted promptly to put in place a financial support scheme for General Dental Practices, the support is only with respect to the NHS component of contract income and then only at 80% of normal contract value for the duration of the COVID-19 lockdown measures. At the same time practices are required to pay their staff 100% of their NHS earnings.
