§ Mr. Lubbockasked the Minister of Health how much is spent by his Department on dental education.
§ Mr. BarberI understand that the question relates to expenditure on dental health education. Direct expenditure by the Ministry of Health on publicity material is of the order of £3,000 a year. However, the main agencies for dental health education under the National Health Service are the local health authorities; their expenditure on this service, which cannot be separately identified, forms part of the total expenditure taken into consideration in fixing the general grant totals.
