§ Mr. Lubbockasked the Minister of Health if he will undertake research into the effect of regular six-monthly visits by patients to the dentist on the cost of the 255W dental service; and if he will amend the leaflet Your Guide to Dental Treatment under the National Health Service published by his Department in June, 1966, so as to include reference to the importance of visiting the dentist for routine treatment at regular intervals.
§ Mr. SnowMy right hon. Friend is sponsoring a survey of the need and demand for dental treatment which he hopes will yield information on this subject. He will in any case consider amending the leaflet as the hon. Member suggests.
