§ Sir E. Graham-Littleasked the Minister of Health if he is aware that under the present statutory limitations a medical practitioner's income cannot exceed £3,600 per annum gross, whereas that of a dental practitioner can reach £4,800 per annum gross; and if, in view of the fact that the period of professional training for the qualifying diploma in medicine is 57 months, while the period of training for the dental qualifying diploma is 48 months, he will review the position, which is causing dissatisfaction amongst medical practitioners.
§ Mr. BevanI cannot accept many of the implications in this Question, but I160W am about to review the present scale of dental fees in consultation with the profession.
