HC Deb 15 July 1948 vol 453 cc128-9W
98. Mr. P. Wells

asked the Minister of Health if in those cases where patients are obliged to travel long distances for treatment owing to the refusal of dentists to enter the General Dental Service, he will arrange to pay the cost of fares.

Mr. Bevan

No, and I have no power to do so. But, as things are going, I hope there will soon be few areas where it is necessary for patients to travel long distances.
