Sorry but thats just wrong. Our dentist practice is NHS only and they are definitely not short of money. Below is the pay for NHS dentists in England. This is from 2009 so its under what they will earn now. Remember this is after expenses. figures show the numbers.

More than £300,000: 382
£275,000-£300,000: 113
£250,000-£275,000: 159
£225,000-£250,000: 228
£200,000-£225,000: 291
£100,000-£200,000: 4,418
£50,000-£100,000: 8,699

And out of that they have to run their practise and pay their staff etc.

I would imagine expenses cover costs of running the practise and wages.

Yes thats correct this is amount of money they have to pay tax on after all their charges including their staff and their practices.

Have yo got a link where you got the figures from?

When I last read a list of payments for NHS dental practises the figures were all before any costs as the NHS has no control on how many staff the dentists employ. They just get paid for the treatment etc, how it is spent is nothing to do with the NHS so how would they have all the figures?

Is it just payments from NHS or, more likely, does it include their private practice income as well?

You implied that it is NHS taxable income but is that true?

If it is total income then I could see it being after expenses otherwise not.

You can register with an nhs dentist here easily lots of places but yes you have to wait about 2 weeks for an appointment think thats normal really.

Those are just meaningless figures without knowing what the overheads of running each practice are.

But as I have said that is their total income from both NHS and private so it does not prove the point you were trying to make that their private practice was not subsidising the NHS side of their practice. The only way to show that would be to show their NHS income only which you have not done.

You are incorrect. The figures shown is their NHS pay and not private. Here is another example from the following year
