What is the decile score for a school in my area?
To see the most up to date information on decile scores for a school in your area, visit the Ministry of Education website.
This patient does not have a decile score – what rate should I claim them at?
If the patient is being home schooled, is at correspondence school, at polytech, is unemployed or is working, use the middle range (decile 4–6) rates.
Who is my Principal Dental Officer (PDO)?
