§ 81. Mr. MacCollasked the Secretary of State for Scotland how actual expenditure, to the nearest convenient date, upon the provision of dentures and spectacles by the National Health Service compares with the revised estimate submitted by his predecessor after the institution of charges for these articles.
§ Mr. J. StuartThe revised estimate was for expenditure in the whole of the financial year and no separate estimate was given for the provision of dentures. It is probable that the expenditure on the General Dental Service as a whole will be about equal to the revised estimate, while that on the Supplementary Ophthalmic Service will be about £50,000 below.
