Research and Markets: The Capitation Market in the UK Generated £0.3 billion in Revenue in 2004 of which £280 million Accrued to the Dentists and £41 million Accrued to the Capitation Providers

Dublin - Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c22740) has announced the addition of The Private Dental Care Market in the UK 2005 to their offering

This brief analyzes the market for private dental care in the UK with a specific focus on capitation schemes. The report provides key statistical data on each of the capitation players including number of lives covered and market share. It includes forecasts of the future number of lives covered between 2005 and 2010 and gives a unique insight into the size of the capitation market and the issues surrounding private dentistry.

Based upon primary research with the three main capitation providers, this report estimates that the capitation market generated £0.3 billion in revenue in 2004, of which £280 million accrued to the dentists and £41 million accrued to the capitation providers.

The number of lives covered is increasing rapidly. Two of the three main players are reporting net growth in the number of lives covered of 25 per cent and 50 per cent respectively due to the continuing lack of access to NHS dentists and also the fact that many NHS dentists are converting to private practice. It is estimated that 67 per cent of capitation plans in the UK are on a fully restorative basis with the remaining 33 per cent being maintenance only.
