HC Deb 22 July 1976 vol 915 c590W
Mr. Knox

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services what was the average number of teeth filled per full-time dental officer in the School Dental Service in 1975; and what the comparable figure was for the Leek parliamentary constituency.

Dr. Owen

An average of 1,910 teeth were filled per dental officer—whole-time equivalent—in the School Dental Service in England in 1974. Treatment statistics are not yet available for 1975. No information is available in respect of parliamentary constituencies.
