HC Deb 28 January 1992 vol 202 c544W
Mr. Gareth Wardell

To ask the Secretary of State for Health if he will seek to base the new dental contract on the principle of capitation for children.

Mr. Dorrell

The new dental contract already reflects the capitation principle. Dentists receive a monthly capitation fee for each child registered with them. Monthly continuing care payments are made for each adult registered.
