Stabilisation Care Package - NHS Wales 2026

We have identified an issue whereby selecting the ‘stabilisation’ care package; along with the treatments required for stabilisation stacks the care packages on top of each other.

For example 2 extractions and 5 fillings on carious teeth should trigger only the stabilisation care package; but when charting the treatment planned it stacks the simple and extensive restorative packages as well; effectively charging the patient for each care package which is incorrect.

The workaround we currently found is to list our own stabilisation treatments and numbered them VHNS1, VHNS2 etc. and set them up as the treatments required on band 1 with the very high needs stabilisation marker.

We have set these up for XLA, Fillings, and removal of PRFs for the time being.

 

Is this an oversight in light of the huge changes that have been implemented?

Should dentally not ‘see’ the stabilisation package and as such technically ignore further care packages from getting added?
