HC Deb 17 February 1961 vol 634 c172W
94. Mr. du Cann

asked the Minister of Education what short-term measures he has introduced to improve the school dental service in the Dulverton area, as forecast by the Parliamentary Secretary in his letter to the hon. Member for Taunton, dated 26th July, 1960.

Mr. K. Thompson:

Following on the consultations which my right hon. Friend has been having with my right hon. Friend the Minister of Health, discussions will take place shortly with local authority and professional organisations with a view to securing improvements in the school dental service. It may be some time before the effect of any such measures is felt in particular areas.
