HC Deb 18 July 1977 vol 935 c356W
Sir Bernard Braine

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services what answer he has given to the Southend District Community Health Council which has expressed its concern to him about the difficulties encountered by physically and mentally handicapped persons over the age of 16 years in obtaining dental service; and what proposals he has for remedying the situation.

Mr. Ennals

I am still considering these and other representations on this matter and will write as soon as possible to the hon. Gentleman and to the community health council, whose letter I received on 6th July.
