Mr. Bercow

To ask the Secretary of State for Health what plans his Department has to provide free dental checks for students. [9820]

Mr. Milburn

Dental charges and all other aspects of Government spending are being reviewed as part of the Government's comprehensive spending review.

Mr. Bercow

To ask the Secretary of State for Health if the Government will provide financial assistance to students who incur chiropractor bills for treatment to serious injuries; and if he will make a statement. [9819]

Mr. Milburn

The national health service does not reimburse patients for the cost of treatment obtained privately. Where chiropractic services are provided through the NHS, they are free of charge.
