Do we pay our dentists less than UK counterparts?

Does the Isle of Man pay its dentists less than their UK counterparts?

Douglas North MHK John Wannenburgh wants to know - and will ask Health and Social Care Minister Lawrie Hooper for more details.

In the House of Keys on Tuesday, Mr Wannanbergh will ask how much Island dentists are paid for each Unit of Dental Activity - and if that figure's lower than the UK, what the government's doing to attract dentists here.

Each examination is one UDA, while a filling is worth three and bridge repairs are worth 12 - dentists are paid an amount for each UDA they carry out.
