The text of both the Standard General Dental Services Variation Notice 2009 and the Personal Dental Services Agreements Variation Notice 2009 have been prepared by the Department of Health’s Solicitors. Both are prepared on the basis that the numbering adopted in the signed contract or agreement follows that used in the Standard General Dental Services Contract and PDS Agreement templates dated 2006. Revised standard contract and agreement templates, which incorporate these changes, are available for new contracts and agreements and supersede those published in 2006.
