HC Deb 08 December 1969 vol 793 c8W
53. Dr. Winstanley

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will seek to adjust the age limits in respect of exemption from statutory charges for dental treatment and prescription charges in the light of recent changes in the law relating to the age of majority.

Dr. John Dunwoody

No. The changes in the law relating to the age of majority do not affect the clinical considerations on which exemption from charges for prescriptions and dental treatment is based.
