Purpose

The current contract with Dentaid is due to
end in March 2025. This service was part funded by Public Health
(£18,000) and part by external funding from the Office for
Health Improvement and Disparities via substance misuse funds
(£18,000). The external funding is not available for
2025/26.

Decision

To not reprocure a contract for provision of
dental checks and treatment for clients experiencing homelessness
and substance misuse, through monthly mobile clinics in Eastbourne
and Hastings.
