HC Deb 28 October 1947 vol 443 cc90-2W
Mr. Boyd-Carpenter

asked the Minister of National Insurance what action he now proposes to take in view of the breakdown in dental benefits in Kingston and the adjacent part of the County of Surrey.

Mr. J. Griffiths

There may be individual cases of difficulty arising out of the fact that it has always been open to dentists to decide for themselves whether or not they will accept a dental letter under the present health insurance scheme; but I have no evidence that insured persons living in the area who are members of Approved Societies which provide dental benefit are unable to obtain treatment in accordance with the regulations.
