In this fee revision exercise, he noted, the Government proposes to increase the fees to their full cost level based on costing results, except the entrance fee for examination payable under the Dentists (Registration and Disciplinary Procedure) Regulations.

For the exception, which is substantially below cost, the Government intends to phase in the full cost recovery in order to lessen the impact of the fee revision.

Details of the existing and proposed fees are as follows:
