The ARF is a mandatory payment for all registrants and registration with the GDC is a legal requirement for all dental professionals.
This consultation follows on from a consultation held between April 16 and June 4 which focussed on the policy used when setting the Annual Retention Fee, responses from which have been considered when establishing the proposed new fee.
The consultation is now open and the GDC would like to hear views from registrants and the wider dental sector.
The consultation is open until September 4 2014.
