@EddieCrouch @rmgwatson @TheBDA This is sad news indeed. Michael came to our LDC (Bradford and Airedale) around 20 years ago and we debated contract matters. Always well informed his wisdom was appreciated. Our condolences to his family.

@DentistGoneBadd Family Practioner Committees became FHSAs (family health service authorities) then PCGs. PCTs came next if my memory serves!

At last week's #ntsummit, Chris Hopson was aksed how arbitrary 30% cuts to ICB management was compatible with the claim that ICBs should have more autonomy (which he claimed they did)...

@Munafqayyum @BoydsDental @NHSBSA @NHSEngland @TheBDA I read the amendment to the SFE and can’t find any reference to that. My assumption is that any additional funding is superannuable too as there’s nothing in the amendment to say it’s not!

[Ali Azfar @AliAzfar1966]

@iangordon1959 @NHSDental This is correct - marginal changes introduced so late too help many practices struggling with contract delivery. @NHSEngland must consider how NHS dentistry will be provided in the next contract year as @iangordon1959 says, practice WILL go to the wall

[Ali Azfar @AliAzfar1966]

@ChrisHopsonNHS @NHSEngland 18 years of EPS and not a single dental practice can use it. We can’t even print prescriptions due to having to use the FP10 form - so it’s handwritten every single time. Why?

@nicsjourney2BDS Spot on!

[Ali Azfar @AliAzfar1966]

@hawarunsaunders @parkrunUK Wasn’t it just? 😊 No cake left at the end for us volunteers though but we didn’t mind 😗🤣

[Ali Azfar @AliAzfar1966]

@hawarunsaunders @parkrunUK No dress today - hope you recognised me 🤣

[Ali Azfar @AliAzfar1966]

@parkrunUK Timekeeping at Robert’s park parkrun tomorrow (it’s a Vegas event so am going dressed as a showgirl 😳); Sunday I’m RD at Saltaire juniors 😊👍🏽

[Ali Azfar @AliAzfar1966]

@TheWholeT00th Any word on if patients will have to pay more for the more complex cases? If yes then let’s hear it, if no then how does this square with keeping the changes within the existing funding?

Thread on what happened in Tiverton- Lib Dems had 400-odd activists here yesterday, leafleted almost every home & spoke to 20,000 people. They said 3 issues dominated: 1- Tiverton High school 2- Dentistry- fury at not being able to get NHS dentists and 3- partygate. 1/

@EddieCrouch @NHSBSA Me too Eddie. But I haven’t missed any workforce data submissions and made my year end declaration as required. I screenshotted my Compass screens evidencing this and sent it to the BSA. Heard nothing in over a week. I could do without the threats though 😡

[Ali Azfar @AliAzfar1966]

@healthyopinion @NHSEngland @NHSBSA @NHSDental I got one of those emails but I haven’t missed a single requirement. I emailed with proof from my Compass account and haven’t had a reply 🤷🏽‍♂️
