§ Mr. Derek Pageasked the Minister of Health what is the latest available ratio of patients to dentists in the King's Lynn area; and how this compares with the rest of the country.
§ Mr. K. RobinsonThe ratio of dentists providing general dental services to the population served in King's Lynn and the surrounding area is estimated as 1 to 7,515, but because of the resignation of one dentist and the illness of another the proportion is likely to become less 321W in the next few weeks. The national average at 30th September, 1965 was one dentist to 4,566.
