HC Deb 12 April 1994 vol 241 c79W
Mr. Blunkett

To ask the Secretary of State for Health what guidelines there are to regulate the use of premises, equipment and staff, paid for from public funds, for the development of private dental practice.

Dr. Mawhinney

Fees paid to general dental practitioners do not fund the development of private practice. Fees are set to take account of the average level of expenses incurred in the provision of national health service treatment.
