HC Deb 29 April 1952 vol 499 c58W
53. Mr. Ross

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland the number of dentists taking part in the general dental service and the school dental service, respectively, in Scotland, at nearest available date; and how this compares with the same date last year.

Commander Galbraith

The School Dental Service in Scotland at the end of 1950 employed the equivalent of 94 full-time dentists. At the end of 1951 the figure had risen to 104 and by March, 1952, to 115. The number of dentists in the General Dental Service at the end of 1950 was 1,251 and at the end of 1951—the latest available date—1,254.
