HC Deb 07 December 1998 vol 322 c73W
Mr. Crausby

To ask the Secretary of State for Health what special provision has been made for homeless people to have access to dental services. [61004]

Mr. Milburn

One of the functions of the Community Dental Service is to provide dental treatment for people with special needs, including homeless people. In addition, health authorities may make arrangements with a number of general dental practitioners to provide emergency dental services on a sessional basis for unregistered patients.
