     Policy book for primary dental services and associated appendices 


 


An updated policy book and associated appendices for primary dental services has been published this week. The document provides commissioners of dental services with the context, information and tools to commission and manage dental contracts.

                                   Pre-election key information


 


                                  What is the pre-election period?


During the pre-election period, previously referred to as ‘purdah’, specific restrictions are placed on the use of public resources and the communication activities of public bodies, civil servants and local government officials.


The pre-election period is designed to avoid the actions of public bodies distracting from or having influence on election campaigns. The pre-election period has implications for all NHS organisations, although it is worth remembering that the NHS should always remain politically impartial.


                                       Key considerations


All NHS organisations and staff behave impartially towards all candidates and political parties, and do not influence the election outcomes, whether inadvertently or intentionally.


As always during a pre-election period, there should be:

  • no new decisions or announcements of policy or strategy;

  • no decisions on large and/or contentious procurement contracts;

  • no participation by official NHS representatives in debates and events that may be politically controversial, whether at national or local level.

These restrictions apply in all cases other than where postponement would be detrimental to the effective running of the local NHS, or wasteful of public money.
