49. Mr. Garrett

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services what is the number of dentists who have ceased to work in the National Health Service for the years 1969, 1970, 1971 and 1972.

Mr. Alison

In the general dental services in England, during the 12-month periods to 30th September, 680, 664, 698 and 693 respectively. Greater numbers of dentists entered during these same periods resulting in net increases each year of 68, 176, 101 and 223.
