Correction Slip
This correction slip amends a typographical error found in the National Health Service (Primary Dental Services and Dental Charges) (Amendment) (No. 2) Regulations 2026.
It specifically instructs that the reference to '17A(7)(d)(ii)' in regulation 13(2)(b) be replaced with '13A(7)(d)(ii)'.
The document applies to the published text of the regulations and ensures the statutory references align with the intended legislative structure for primary dental services in England.
Arguments For
The document identifies a clerical error in the original Statutory Instrument where a cross-reference cited '17A(7)(d)(ii)' instead of the intended '13A(7)(d)(ii)'.
Proponents of such corrections argue that administrative updates ensure the internal consistency and legal clarity of the regulatory framework governing dental services.
The correction is issued under the authority of the Controller of His Majesty's Stationery Office and King's Printer of Acts of Parliament to maintain accurate public records of legislation.
Arguments Against
Legal practitioners might note that errors in original statutory instruments can cause temporary confusion or misinterpretation of dental service obligations before a correction is published.
Critics of the legislative drafting process may point to the need for more rigorous proofreading to avoid the necessity of subsequent correction slips.
Page 16, regulation 13(2)(b): '17A(7)(d)(ii)' should read '13A(7)(d)(ii)'.
This provision modifies the text of regulation 13(2)(b) within the principal 2026 Regulations.
It replaces an incorrect numerical reference with the correct section identifier to ensure legal citations within the document are accurate.
This change affects how the specific sub-paragraph is read and interpreted by dental service providers and administrators.
