HC Deb 30 July 1959 vol 610 cc133-4W
68. Mr. J. Howard

asked the Minister of Education how many dentists are engaged in the dental service for children in Southampton; and how many school children he estimates are unable to obtain treatment there.

Sir E. Boyle

I understand that the Southampton local education authority employs two full-time dentists and one part-time. Treatment in the Authority's Dental Service is necessarily restricted to those children who most need it, but the General Dental Service is also available to children.
