HC Deb 17 July 1958 vol 591 cc116-7W
65. Mr. Hastings

asked the Minister of Education how many children in the schools under his direction are suffering from orthodontic troubles; how many of these are undergoing treatment; and on how many has treatment not yet commenced.

Mr. Geoffrey Lloyd

I have no information on the number of school children requiring orthodontic treatment. During 1957 about 56,000 children received it through the School Dental Service; in about 27,000 of these cases the treatment began in 1957.
