HC Deb 17 February 1971 vol 811 cc487-8W
Mr. Dempsey

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he is aware of the concern regarding the lack of dental services on Sundays and holiday weekends; and if he will discuss with the Executive Council for Lanarkshire the introduction of a rota system to ensure the provision of dental services at all times.

Mr. Gordon Campbell

I understand that most dentists will provide emergency treatment, at any rate for their own patients; I am not satisfied that there is sufficient demand to make special arrangements necessary.
