ABOUT US
The Local Dental Committee (LDC) is a statutory body which is democratically elected to represent the views of Lincolnshire Dentists.
We are funded by a compulsory levy system which is paid by the majority of NHS dentists in the region.
An LDC is a statutory body enshrined in legislation (NHS 1977, Health and Social Care Act 2003, recently by NHS England).
We are democratically elected and made up of local dentists from various spheres of the profession to represent our colleagues.
Our funding is in accordance with the law, by collection of the statutory levy from GDS Providers, GDS and PDS Performers.
We liaise and negotiate regularly with local NHS governing bodies and nationally in conjunction with other regional LDCs.
Our aim is to provide support and guidance about ongoing challenges and upcoming changes within the profession.
