HC Deb 10 June 1975 vol 893 c155W
42. Mrs. Renée Short

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if she is satisfied with the number of dental auxiliaries in training; and what proposals she has for increasing the number.

Mr. Alec Jones

There is no shortage of applicants for places in the one training school in the United Kingdom. Since dental auxiliaries are concerned with the treatment of children, I would prefer, before considering whether training facilities need to be increased, to await the report of the committee under Professor Court which is reviewing the child health services.
