§ Mr. Mellorasked the Secretary of State for Social Services what action he proposes to take on the recommendation of the Nuffield inquiry into dental education that there should be regular and frequent re views of dental manpower requirements.
§ Dr. VaughanThe service implications of the report of the Nuffield inquiry into dental education are being considered by the dental strategy review group. In addition, I am setting up a departmental study to review likely trends in the supply of and demand for dental manpower over the next twenty years or so. The profession is being consulted. The study team is expected to report within 18 months of beginning its work.
