§ Mr. Norman Atkinsonasked the Secretary of State for Social Services how many dentists practice full-time in the Tottenham district of the London borough of Haringey; how many accept National Health Service patients; and, of the total remuneration received by these practitioners, what is the estimated break-down 237W between private and National Health Service patients.
§ Mr. MoyleIt is not known how many are currently practising full time or accepting National Health Service patients, but there are 33 dentists with addresses in the postal districts of Tottenham N17 and South Tottenham N15 on the dental list of the Enfield and Haringey Family Practitioner Committee.
All dentists on a family practitioner committee's list undertake to provide National Health Service general dental services, but they may treat as many or as few patients as they wish. The name of any dentist who has not provided such services during a period of six months is removed from the list. No estimate can be made of the breakdown of remuneration of these dentists as between the treatment of private and NHS patients.
