Welcome
What is the LDC
and what does it do?
LDCs were set up in 1948, becoming Statutory
bodies under the 1977 NHS Act. As such PCTs have
to consult with the LDC on matters of local
dental interest. We represent any dentist in the
county of Norfolk who holds an NHS list number
with the PCT. Also we represent PDS
practitioners, assistants and deputies provided
they have expressed a wish to be represented by
the LDC and private practitioners.
The members of the LDC are elected to represent
the interests of those dentists listed above
both pastorally but also should problems arise
in their professional lives they are available
for advice and help.
The LDC is involved
with providing input into several dental
committees in Norfolk including
· Professional Executive Committees (PECs) of
PCTs
· Oral Health Advisory group
· Clinical Governance within the PCTs
· Patient representative groups
LDC members also
assist in
· Dental discipline committee (Poor performance)
ensuring the dentist involved is supported
· Providing members for DPB appeals
· Advising PCTs over complaints against dentists
ensuring the dentists interests are represented
positively
· Feed back of grass roots views nationally
Personnel within the
PCT include
Chairman : Mr. Jason Stokes
Vice Chairman: Mr. Pieter Roos
Secretary: Mr.Nick Stolls
Assistant Secretary: Mr. Nick Lamb
Treasurer: Mr. Maurice Healy

If any dentist has an issue they feel needs
resolving in the county, then the LDC might be
able to assist you.
