HC Deb 02 April 1992 vol 222 c468W
Mr. Eastham

To ask the Secretary of State for Health what evidence she has as to the frequency with which people over the age of 65 years visit a dentist, and as to the factors which influence this frequency.

Dr. Mawhinney

The evidence held indicates that there is no set pattern of dental attendance among those over age 65 and that the factors which influence the frequency of their attendance are varied.
