HC Deb 10 November 1970 vol 806 cc82-3W
74 and 75. Mr. Leadbitter

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services (1) what representations have been made to him about the new increases in prescription charges; and what reply he has sent;

(2) what representations have been made to him about the new dental charges; and what reply he has sent.

Sir K. Joseph

I have received 39 letters objecting to the proposed increases and advice from the Standing Dental Advisory Committee. Replies in general seek to remove misunderstandings and to explain the arrangements for helping those who have difficulty in paying the charges.
