HC Deb 20 October 1949 vol 468 cc56-7W
Mr. Janner

asked the Minister of Health what are the present arrangements for the remuneration of dental radiographers under the National Health Scheme; and whether he is satisfied that these arrangements are adequate to ensure the continued development of this service.

Mr. Bevan

Dental radiographers employed in hospitals are paid according to the national salary scales for radiographers generally. In the general dental services a dentist who accepts a patient normally either takes necessary radiographs himself or arranges for them to be taken by another dentist or doctor; he is paid in accordance with the prescribed scale of fees. I am not aware of any special difficulty in this matter.
