§ Mr. Gordon PrenticeTo ask the Secretary of State for Health what discussions he has had with the British Dental Association concerning fast-track procedures for striking off dentists who may pose a threat to the public. [19295]
§ Mr. MaloneIn December 1995 we consulted the British Dental Association about powers for the national health service tribunal to suspend dentists from providing general dental services. We amended the National Health Service (General Dental Services) Regulations to reflect these changes which came into force on 21 December 1995.
