HC Deb 06 December 1999 vol 340 c437W
Mr. Gordon Prentice

To ask the Secretary of State for Health how many NHS dentists have required their patients to take out insurance with Denplan in the most recent 12-month period for which figures are available; and if he will make a statement. [100625]

Mr. Hutton

Information is not available on the number of dentists who decide to de-register some or all of their National Health Service patients, and at the same time offer to provide future care and treatment under a private arrangement, which may include an insurance plan such as Denplan.
