HC Deb 08 July 1975 vol 895 cc90-1W
15. Mr. Brotherton

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services what money has been appropriated to promote preventive dental care.

No figure is available for the total sum appropriated for the promotion of dental care, the responsibility for which is shared by area health and local education authorities. The Health Education Council expects to spend £16,000 this year.
