HC Deb 18 July 1977 vol 935 cc354-5W
Mr. Knox

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services what was the average number of courses of treatment completed per full-time dental officer in the School Dental Service in 1976; and what was the comparable figure for the Leek parliamentary constituency.

Mr. Moyle

The average number of courses of treatment completed per full-time dental officers in the School Dental Service in England in 1976 was 928; information is not available in respect of parliamentary constituencies, but the comparable figure for the area of the Stafford shire Area Health Authority was 827.

The dental officers concerned spent a small part of their time treating patients other than in the School Dental Service.
