HC Deb 19 May 1969 vol 784 c12W
Mr. Pavitt

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services what is the maximum fee chargeable to a patient under the National Health Service for dental service in respect of a check up and a clean and polish, respectively.

Mr. Crossman

There is no charge for a simple examination without X-rays Where X-rays are required, the charge will vary, subject to the statutory maximum, according to their number and type. The charge to a patient for scaling and polishing only is 13s. 6d.
