| Summary: |
To assess the efficiency with which health authorities’ Community
Dental Services provide dental care in England. Methods: A data envelopment
analysis of inputs (hours worked by dental officers, therapists, hygienists
and others) and outputs (screening, treatment, prevention) of the Community Dental
Service (CDS) was conducted. Relative efficiency ratings of the CDS by health
authority were further analysed in order to identify external factors which effect
efficiency and are outside the control of the Community Dental Service. |
