HC Deb 15 April 1970 vol 799 c244W
Mr. Eadie

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what is the waiting period for people requiring dental treatment in the new town of Livingston, Midlothian; and how it compares with the rest of the county.

Mr. Ross

The present waiting period for dental treatment in the new town of Livingston for all patients other than those requiring emergency treatment is about five months; no patient has to wait in an emergency. It is not possible to compare the waiting period in Livingston with the rest of the county without making enquiry of individual dentists.
