HC Deb 23 January 1967 vol 739 cc169-70W
29. Mr. Iremonger

asked the Minister of Health if he will now find out from the trade association of manufacturers of prosthetic dental fittings, namely the Dental Laboratories Association Limited, how many of its member companies have gone into liquidation or substantially modified their production methods in the last two years, and how many craftsmen employed by its member companies have left their employment in the same period; and if, in the light of the information he received, he will make a statement on the general standard of prosthetic products available to dentists in the National Health Service, and the prospects of maintaining their standard and improving it as new technological methods become available.

Mr. Snow

No. The general standard of dental prosthetics supplied to National Health Service patients is satisfactory and we see no reason why it should not remain so.
