§ 56. Mr. K. Robinsonasked the Minister of Health if he is aware that approval for a general anaesthetic is frequently withheld by the Dental Estimates Board; why the Board is not content to rely upon the clinical judgment of the dentist in 7W such instances; what course is open to a dentist who cannot obtain the Board's approval; on whom the cost of such anaesthetic, if given, falls; what guidance he has given to the Board on this matter; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. PowellNo; because they must discharge their responsibility under the regulations; to appeal to me; that would depend on the circumstances; none.
