The Private Dentistry (Wales) Regulations 2017

Transitional savings

42.—(1) The 2008 Regulations continue to apply in relation to a dentist until the date on which the provider of the private dental practice in which the dentist works is registered under Part 2 of the Act.

(2) Subject to paragraph (3) where a dentist works in more than one private dental practice, the 2008 Regulations will continue to apply to that dentist until the provider of each of the private dental practices in which the dentist works is registered under Part 2 of the Act.

(3) The 2008 Regulations will no longer apply to the dentist in respect of the private dental practice in which he or she works once the provider of that private dental practice has registered under Part 2 of the Act.

(4) Where an application for registration, for cancellation or for the variation or removal of a condition is made by a dentist but is not determined before the coming into force of these Regulations, the application will be considered as if the 2008 Regulations were still in force, and the registered person must provide to the registration authority any other information or documents that the registration authority may require.

(5) For the purposes of this regulation, references to a dentist means a dentist registered to provide private dental services and who works in a private dental practice.
