HC Deb 04 June 1956 vol 553 cc30-1W
37. Mr. Swingler

asked the Minister of Health how many full-time consultant dental surgeons are employed by the regional board in the Birmingham region; which areas they serve; and which areas are not adequately covered by the services of a full-time consultant dental surgeon.

Miss Hornsby-Smith

Eleven consultants or senior hospital dental officers: all hospital groups are served either by whole-time or part-time consultants except St. Margaret's which has a general dental practitioner on call. The Board has under consideration an additional part-time appointment to improve the service in parts of north Staffordshire.
