Thinking of incorporating your dental practice?--Some legal issues to consider.
The Government is proposing a major deregulation to the dental market by removing the restriction which allows only 27 named corporate bodies to carry on the business of dentistry. The Government sees benefits in incorporation for both NHS and private dentistry and in particular by providing wider ranging options for attracting investment. The necessary changes to the Dentists Act 1984 would be implemented by an Order under Section 60 the Health Act 1999. The latest news from the Department of Health when this was written is that they anticipate consulting on the draft Order by September of this year.
