HC Deb 17 June 1948 vol 452 c77W
Sir E. Graham-Little

asked the Minister of Health why he has decided not to incorporate in his amending Bill a provision to prevent a whole-time salaried service for the dentists being introduced by regulation; and whether, in view of the undertaking he has given to the medical Negotiating Committee to make this concession to the doctors, he will reconsider this decision.

Mr. Bevan

While there is no intention of introducing a whole-time salaried service for dentists working in private surgeries, salaries or sessional fees are in my view the most appropriate form of remuneration for dentists in health centres and I could not therefore accept the proposal.
