HC Deb 22 February 1977 vol 926 c526W
Mr. Pavitt

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will make available topical fluorides and fisure sealants to all handicapped children through the National Health Service; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Moyle

The use of these methods and the extent of their provision in the community dental services of the National Health Service are for each area health authority to decide in the light of its resources, its assessment of the dental benefit and its statutory duty to provide dental services for pupils at maintained schools.
