HC Deb 16 January 1998 vol 304 c366W
Mr. Sanders

To ask the Secretary of State for Health what plans he has to increase the number of NHS dentists in the South Devon area. [23386]

Mr. Milburn

On 1 January we announced a further £10 million to continue the Government's drive to improve access to National Health Service dentistry and tackle oral health inequalities through our Investing in Dentistry initiative. This focuses help on those areas of the country where these problems are most acute, by providing grants to enable dentists to expand existing practices and set up new ones.
