HC Deb 29 March 1965 vol 709 c163W
53. Sir Richard Glyn

asked the Minister of Health what plans he has for increasing remuneration and more realistic expense allowances for dentists and other workers in the dental services; and when they will be put into effect.

Mr. K. Robinson

The remuneration of dentists is based on the recommendations of the independent Review Body. The fees paid to general dental practitioners are designed to include full reimbursement of expenses. The pay of dental hygienists, technicians and surgery assistants employed by hospitals and local authorities is negotiated by the Whitley Council; claims are at present under consideration.
