2022 to 2023 workforce data collection form
As detailed in the ‘additional information from NHSE for dental providers in England’, published under the ‘Contract management arrangements for 2022/23’ on the Provider Assurance dental page, there is a requirement for contracts to complete a workforce form for quarter 1 in 2022 to 2023, where they will need income protection.

These were captured in the revised WTE model but were not implemented in Compass.
