HC Deb 04 November 1948 vol 457 cc92-3W
73. Mr. Janner

asked the Minister of Health if he is satisfied that the priority dental service promised to expectant and nursing mothers and children is working adequately; or what steps he is proposing to take.

Mr. Bevan

I am satisfied that local health authorities in general are doing their best to make up for the leeway of the past and get an adequate service going, but their task is not easy and dentists are not plentiful. I shall watch the situation.
