HC Deb 17 December 1956 vol 562 c102W
78. Mr. Skeffington

asked the Minister of Health how many dental students are now in training; and by how many that number falls short of the nation's requirements.

Mr. Turton

Comprehensive information about the number of students in the current academic year will not be available before February. The total number is however known to be considerably below the estimate of requirements made by the Committee on Recruitment to the Dental Profession, though there has recently been a welcome increase in the intake of new students.
