HC Deb 04 March 1992 vol 205 c197W
Mr. Trimble

To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland what arrangements are being made to provide regular continued training in resuscitation techniques for general dental practitioners as recommended in the Poswillo report; and what funding is being provided for such training.

Mr. Hanley

The Department of Health and Social Services will be entering into discussions shortly with the Northern Ireland Council for Postgraduate Medical Education on the nature, extent and cost of the training required for dentists and their teams as recommended in the Poswillo report. The resource implications of this training have not yet been quantified and no funds have been allocated.
