§ 15. Mr. Bairdasked the President of the Board of Trade what steps he is taking to increase the supply of dental X-ray film for use in the National Health Service, especially for the priority services.
§ Mr. H. WilsonPending the completion of arrangements already in hand for increasing United Kingdom production, a licence has been issued for the importation of dental X-ray film to reduce the gap between supply and demand. There has also been a small reduction in the amount exported. My right hon. Friend the Minister of Health and I, hope that in the meantime dentists will help by using available supplies economically. As regards priority services, my right hon. Friend has asked me to give an assurance that they will not be overlooked.
