HC Deb 19 October 1973 vol 861 c344W
Mr. Meacher

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if, in view of the degree of wastage among dental auxiliaries at present, he will take steps to ensure that their employment should not be limited to local authority or hospital service but should be extended to general dental practices.

Mr. Alison

Not at present. The Working Party on Dental Services is considering the need of trained dentists for ancillary help of all kinds.
