§ Mrs. Dunwoodyasked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will direct health authorities to stop costing entirely to administrative costs the salaries of dentists who work part-time as special dental officers.
§ Mr. Geoffrey FinsbergI assume that the hon. Member is referring to district dental officers who undertake clinical duties for part of their time. I am not prepared to exclude part of the cost of these officers from management costs for the reason given in my reply to her on 9 June.—[Vol. 25, c.127].
