Dentists braced for success
DIRECTOR DEALINGS
PERRY GOURLEY
DENTAL practice group Oasis continues to look far and wide to recruit overseas dentists to its UK business.
Although it has bemoaned delays caused by red tape, it says it has a growing number of foreign dentists eager to work.
Last week it announced that trading was on target and its AGM was accompanied by two hefty purchases by directors.
New chief executive Stephen Lambert, who joined Oasis in August, spent 105,000 to raise his holding to 1.3m shares.
Operations director Guy Blomfield made his first purchase since joining the group in June, spending just over 50,000. He has been granted options over a million shares.

('Oasis Healthcare' or 'The Company')
Pre-close Trading Update
Oasis Healthcare Plc, the UK's largest operator of dental practices announces an update on trading for the six months to 30 September 2005 as foreshadowed at the Company's Annual General meeting. The Company's interim results will be
announced on Thursday 1 December 2005.
Trading
The Company's turnover, from a combination of both NHS and private income
streams, has risen on a year to date basis compared to the same period last year and as a result the Company anticipates that it will meet broker expectations.
The Company is investing in revenue enhancing projects at a greater rate than
last year and significantly in the new organisational structure which has
improved free cash flow generation, which in turn, permits this increased
investment.
The change management programme is proving very successful and the Directors are confident that the improved performance is a result of this redirection.
Stephen Lambert, Chief Executive commented:
'The Company performed well in the first half and I am pleased in the progress
we have made in driving forward the changes needed to improve the financial
performance. We still have much to do and I look forward to reporting in more
detail in December'

Its looks good with the large director buys, then good update and new broker forecasts for a strong run in to the interims. I am getting more hopeful that the turnaround is real and Lambert is doing the things he was brought in to do, and well.

Blair 'powerless over dentists'
Tony Blair has admitted he is powerless to increase access to NHS dentistry.
The government is increasing training places by a quarter and introducing a new contract to improve access - only half the population is registered.
But in an interview on BBC Breakfast News, the prime minister said there was no way of forcing dentists to do NHS work instead of private.
More than a third of English dentists' work is carried out privately - up from about a tenth 15 years ago.
Mr Blair blamed the rise on a new contract introduced in 1990 which effectively increased workload without a rise in pay.
The rise in private work has meant that many people have struggled to find NHS dentists with queues being seen in some parts of the country when a new practice opens.
However, the large number of unregistered people will also include those who have decided not to register themselves.
Mr Blair said dentistry was the "most difficult aspect of the NHS".
"We can't turn the clock back, because I can't force dentists to come back into the NHS."
The admission comes six years after the prime minister pledged to give everyone access to NHS dentistry within two years.
Preventative work
The government is attempting to remedy the situation by introducing a new contract in April which allows dentists to spend more time on preventative work in a bid to get away from the "drill and fill" culture.
The number of training places have also expanded by 25% this year, although it will be five years before those dentists graduate.
Nigel Cater, of the charity British Dental Health Foundation, said he could not see the situation improving in the short-term.
"I don't think you will see a rush of dentists coming back to the NHS, although the new contract may stop them leaving, and the new training places are going to take a few years to make a difference."
And Lester Ellman, of the British Dental Association, said the new contract may "lead to more dentists going private".

Only five and a half weeks to interims now, and I am expecting them to be very good, not only due to good performance from the cluster system but also due to IFRS, which will benefit Oasis greatly in their reporting. OSH is adopting IFRS from these interims I think, and that is ahead of schedule for AIM companies.

A nice article on the staffing problems as more go private then the NHS needs to get in more from abroad. This is good news for Oasis as they have suffered in the past from delays from the red tape, the more coming in should mean that the red tape gets streamlined and causes less delays.

Patients left without a dentist
Hundreds of people have been left without an NHS dentist in a North Yorkshire market town. Letters have gone out to 1,600 patients of Ingrid Gill at Pickering's Birdgate dental practice saying she has retired because of ill health.
Her appointments have been cancelled and other dentists in the town are not able take on extra patients.
Health officials said NHS patients will have to travel 17 miles to a dentist in Scarborough.
Helen Stokell from the Scarborough, Whitby and Ryedale Primary Care Trust (PCT) said the two other dentists at Birdgate and the other NHS dental practice in Pickering did not have any spare capacity.
'Unfortunate situation'
Instead, Mrs Gill's patients are being asked to contact the PCT which will put them in touch with a dentist in Scarborough, a situation Ms Stokell described as "not ideal".
She continued: "This is an unfortunate situation but under the circumstances we at the PCT will do everything we can to make sure that all patients will be found another NHS dentist within the PCT area as soon as places become available."
There have been problems in Scarborough providing NHS dental cover with dentists being brought in from abroad to reinforce the service.
But the PCT said it had identified spare places at practices in the resort.

Interim results will be this coming Thursday, and I think they will be very good and warmly received, with a strong positive outlook.
I am hoping for some more coverage on OSH once the interims are released and December should be a good month I hope.
