HC Deb 27 July 1950 vol 478 c119W
98. Mr. Bishop

asked the Minister of Health if he is aware that members of the crews of British ships are compelled to seek dental treatment in foreign ports owing to their inability to secure appointments with dentists during their short periods at home; and what steps he will take to remedy this situation.

Mr. Bevan

I have just been able to make new arrangements which should help merchant seamen to get their dental treatment at shorter notice.
