HC Deb 10 July 1984 vol 63 c470W
33. Mr. Willie W. Hamilton

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will introduce a new system of payment for dentists in the National Health Service.

Mr. Kenneth Clarke

We are not proposing to alter the general system at present, but a study to test the feasibility and effects of paying dentists capitation fees for treating children is due to start later this year.
