§ 51. Mr. Mappasked the Minister of Health if he is satisfied that dental services are available under the National Health Service in respect of full dentures in the Oldham and South-East Lancashire Area; and what percentage of dentists decline to give such services except under private contract.
§ Mr. K. RobinsonYes. I understand that three of the 16 dentists on the list of the Oldham Executive Council do not provide dentures under the National Health Service; I do not know to what extent they provide dentures privately. The Lancashire Executive Council is not aware that dentists in the neighbouring county areas are refusing to provide dentures under National Health Service arrangements.
