HC Deb 08 August 1966 vol 733 c232W
Mr. Braine

asked the Minister of Health what is the outcome of his inquiries into the shortage of maxillo-facial technicians; in what areas is the shortage most acute; and what steps are now being taken, both short-term and long-term, to remedy these deficiencies.

Mr. K. Robinson

Reports from hospitals which are still being analysed show 138 maxillo-facial technicians in posts on 31st March, 1966, and fourteen posts vacant. Visits to dental laboratories are now being arranged to obtain further information about the recruitment and work of maxillo-facial technicians and of dental technicians generally.
