HC Deb 15 March 1978 vol 946 c210W
Mr. Prior

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services how many dentists give treatment under the National Health Service in the Lowestoft constituency: and how this compares with the number on a per capita basis in the rest of the United Kingdom.

Mr. Moyle

Numbers of dentists are not recorded for constituency areas. On the latest available information, the ratio of National Health Service general dental practitioners to population in the Suffolk family practitioner committee area is 1 to 4,150 compared with 1 to 4,016 for England.
