HC Deb 25 January 1993 vol 217 c526W
Mr. Tyler

To ask the Secretary of State for Health if she will estimate the reduction in turnover experienced by dental practices in Cornwall as a result of the Government's recent changes in the method of remuneration.

Dr. Mawhinney

The most recent quarter for which figures are available shows that the turnover, as reflected in gross income received, of dentists in Cornwall and Isles of Scilly family health services authority has increased by some 20 per cent. by comparing October to December 1992 with the same period in 1990.
