HC Deb 05 July 1995 vol 263 cc224-5W
Mr. Alex Carlile

To ask the Secretary of State for Health what representations she has received indicating an increase in emergency consultations by patients with general practitioners concerning dental problems; and if she will make a statement. [32347]

Mr. Malone

Two general practitioners have written to the Department of Health on this subject over the past year. Under their terms and conditions of service, GPs are not required to provide dental treatment to their patients.
