Dawn Primarolo: Chlamydia screening among 15 to 24-year-old men and women is included as a line in the national health service local delivery plans (LDPs), for the first time in 2007-08. Primary care trusts (PCTs) were asked to plan to screen 15 per cent. of the target population in 2007-08. No targets were set before this date.
It is too early to say which PCTs will meet this target; however, some areas such as Lewisham, Cornwall, Lambeth and Southwark are well on course to reach the target.

Ann Keen: Under the contractual arrangements that were in place up to and including 31 March 2006, the number of patients registered with a national health service dentist was used as the measure of access to NHS dentistry. In April 2006, this measure was replaced by the number of patients seen by an NHS dentist in a 24-month period. These measures are not directly comparable.

The information is provided by children/adults, and by primary care trust (PCT) and strategic health authority (SHA).
This report was published by The Information Centre for health and social care on 23 August 2006, and is available in the Library and is also available at:
The number and percentage of the population seen by an NHS dentist is available in Tables C1 and C2 of Annex 3 of “NHS Dental Statistics for England: Quarter 2, 30 September 2007” report. Information is available for the 24-month periods ending 31 March 2006, 31 March 2007, 30 June 2007, and 30 September 2007.
