HL Deb 18 May 1976 vol 370 c1384WA
Lord TAYLOR

asked Her Majesty's Government:

For what reason private dental practice is forbidden to dental practitioners working in health centres whereas it is permitted for general medical practitioners.

Lord WELLS-PESTELL

My noble friend is under a misapprehension. Arrangements exist under which a dentist substantially engaged in providing general dental services in a health centre may make limited use of the dental service accommodation he rents there for the treatment of his private patients.
