HC Deb 22 April 1983 vol 41 c196W
Mr. Austin Mitchell

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services how many people in Grimsby were waiting for an appointment with a dental specialist on 1 March.

Mr. Geoffrey Finsberg

The information requested is not held centrally, but health authorities do submit details of those waiting for treatment. At 1 September 1982, 155 people were waiting for oral surgery. In no case was treatment urgent.
