HC Deb 21 November 2000 vol 357 c157W
13. Mr. Peter Bradley

To ask the Secretary of State for Health what plans he has to increase spending on NHS dentistry over the next three years. [137648]

Mr. Denham

We are committed to making NHS dentistry available to everyone who needs it by September 2001. Our strategy describes proposals for investment in the General Dental Service and Dental Access Centres, supported by £100 million extra over two years. Treating more patients will put another —80 million a year into NHS dentistry.
