Over the period from December 1989 to the end of February 1990, we have received 32 letters from Members of the House raising questions about charges for dental treatment, and have answered six questions in this House. In the same period, we have received 15 letters from members of the public on the same subject, and one from the chairman of the general dental services committee of the British Dental Association.
