Response: FOI IM84057I - Information already available to requester for years 2016-2017 The Orthodontic contract previously in place ran up to the end of September 2016 and the information the requester is asking for is contained in the above FOI response (there has been no number of UOAs contracted since or target for percentage of achievement since).
Following the cessation of the previous contract, patients transferred under the care of the Department of Health and Social Care to continue their ongoing care and a new ‘Any Qualified Provider’ contract was drawn up and tendered for. The new contract did not assign a contracted amount of UOAs and the payment system for the delivery of orthodontic treatment was also changed to encourage treatment completion and to allow for payment to be made to the Provider for UOAs actually delivered (as opposed to the previous format of contract which paid a full contract value in twelfths).
The new contract has been in place since October 2017 and is held by Regent Health Services Limited.

For the first 3 months of the contract commencing (October-December 2017) the Provider worked closely with the DHSC to transfer patients currently in treatment into the Service. UOAs delivered and paid for from January 2018 to current date is as follows: Financial Period Number of UOAs Completed January 2018-March 2018 706.0 April 2018-March 2019 5539.0 April 2019-March 2020 4168.0 April 2020-March 2021 3528.0 Please note, as from the 1st April 2021 the Department no longer holds this information, you may wish to re-submit any similar requests for information to Manx Care which is an option available on the Freedom of Information request portal, who will process your request accordingly.
