This answer is a correction from the original answer.

The Care Quality Commission (CQC) regulates all health and social care services in England. The commission ensures quality and safety across the range of sectors that deliver health and care to people in England.

The CQC carries out assessments of primary dental services to determine if they are compliant with regulations, however they do not rate dental services in the same way they do for the other services they regulate. 12 out of the 18 active dental locations in the High Peak constituency have been assessed and are compliant with the regulations. The remaining six locations have not yet been assessed.
