§ Ms. ShortTo ask the Secretary of State for Social Security if employment training scheme trainees who do not receive an income support element in their training allowance are entitled to free prescriptions and dental treatment.
§ Mrs. CurrieI have been asked to reply.
People on employment training schemes who are not automatically entitled to free prescriptions or free dental treatment can make a claim under the scheme which helps people on a low income with the cost of National Health services. Depending on their financial circumstances they may get free prescriptions and free dental treatment or help with dental charges.
