HC Deb 13 July 1950 vol 477 c122W
Mr. Higgs

asked the Minister of Health what is the correct procedure advised by him under the Health Scheme for a person suffering from acute toothache who is unable to obtain immediate attention from a dentist; and to what authority an appeal can be made in such cases of emergency.

Mr. Bevan

In most areas dentists set aside stated times for emergency cases. The clerk to the executive council, the address of which is obtainable at post offices, should be able to help in case of need.
