§ Mr. Eadieasked the Secretary of State for Scotland what is the waiting period for people requiring dental treatment in the new town of Livingston, Midlothian; and how it compares with the rest of the county.
§ Mr. RossThe present waiting period for dental treatment in the new town of Livingston for all patients other than those requiring emergency treatment is about five months; no patient has to wait in an emergency. It is not possible to compare the waiting period in Livingston with the rest of the county without making enquiry of individual dentists.
