HC Deb 20 October 1949 vol 468 cc752-3
43. Mr. G. Williams

asked the Minister of Health if he is satisfied with the facilities provided under the National Health Scheme to deal with oral sepsis.

Mr. Bevan

These facilities are I think reasonably satisfactory when the general shortage of dentists is taken into account.

Mr. Williams

While the Minister is very optimistic, will he treat this case as being very serious?

Mr. Bevan

The term "oral sepsis" is a very general one and can include conditions other than those of defective teeth.
