§ Mr. George Gardinerasked the Secretary of Staate for Social Services what percentage of dentists in the East Surrey and Mid-Surrey health districts, respectively, is currently willing to provide the full range of treatment under the National Health Service.
§ Mr. MoyleI regret that the information is not available.
A dentist on a family practitioner committee's dental list is free to make day-to-day decisions as to whether he will provide the full range of treatment for a particular patient or patients. But, having accepted a patient for treatment, he is obliged to provide all the treatment necessary to render the patient dentally fit which the patient is willing to undergo.
