HC Deb 20 March 1947 vol 435 c89W
32. Mr. Baird

asked the Minister of Health if he is aware that the ratio of dentists in the Services per thousand of Service personnel is much greater than the ratio of dentists per thousand of the civil population; and if he will take steps to secure a more equitable distribution of dentists.

Mr. J. Edwards

The answer to the first part of the Question is "Yes, Sir"; but conditions in the Services and civil life are not comparable.
