HC Deb 22 July 1949 vol 467 c81W
Sir E. Graham-Little

asked the Minister of Health if he is aware that, by the rules of the school dental service, dentists are enforcedly idle during the school holidays, as they are not allowed to take up private practice when the schools are closed; and if, in view of the fact that the dental services everywhere are in short supply, he will examine the position.

Mr. Tomlinson

I have been asked to reply. No such rule has been made by my Department, but I am making inquiries about the general practice and will consider whether any change is desirable.
