Each Primary Care Trust must, to the extent that it considers necessary to meet all reasonable requirements, exercise its powers so as to provide primary dental services within its area, or secure their provision within its area.

A Primary Care Trust may (in addition to any other power conferred on it) provide primary dental services itself (whether within or outside its area).

Each Primary Care Trust must publish information about such matters as may be prescribed in relation to the primary dental services for which it makes provision under this Act.

Each Primary Care Trust must co-operate with each other Primary Care Trust and each Local Health Board in the discharge of their respective functions relating to the provision of primary dental services under this Act and the National Health Service (Wales) Act 2006 (c. 42).

Regulations may provide that services of a prescribed description must, or must not, be regarded as primary dental services for the purposes of this Act.

Regulations under subsection (5) may in particular describe services by reference to the manner or circumstances in which they are provided.
