The General Dental Council (GDC) has published its Costed Corporate Plan (CCP) for 2025, outlining the regulator’s work programme and financial projections for the next three years.
The plan sets out what the GDC will do over the next three years and forecasts its income and expenditure for 2025.
In addition, the document reviews the 2024 plan, summarising some of the key achievements and progress made.
Of the 32 projects on the GDC’s 2024 workplan, six were completed, 19 remain on track for delivery in 2025 or 2026, six were combined with other projects or moved into core activities, and one is on hold awaiting decisions on project scope.
The GDC’s 2025-2027 work programme includes 29 projects, each allocated against one of our strategic aims. These projects are designed to support us as a regulator in fulfilling our statutory obligations and meeting the objectives set out in our Corporate Strategy.
The forecast expenditure for the three-year period from 2025 to 2027 is £141.4m. The Annual Retention Fee (ARF) levels paid by dental professionals will be reviewed again later in 2025 when the Council approves the new strategy for 2026–2028, along with the budget for 2026, to ensure we can continue to fulfil our statutory role of maintaining patient safety and public confidence in the years ahead. These fees will be reviewed again later in 2025.
The Costed Corporate Plan for 2025-2027 is now available on the GDC website.
