HC Deb 18 July 1995 vol 263 c1200W
Mr. Morgan

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales if he will list the number of places for dental students in Wales, in each of the past 10 years; and if the trend in the number of dental student places in Wales differs from the figures for the United Kingdom as a whole. [35233]

Mr Hague

Forty five until the intake in October 1989, and 55 since that date. Following the last review of medical and dental manpower in 1982, there has been an expansion of 20 per cent. at the Welsh dental school compared with a reduction of 10 per cent. elsewhere.
