HC Deb 05 April 2000 vol 347 cc507-8W
Mr. Stinchcombe

To ask the Secretary of State for Health how many cases of alleged Munchhausen Syndrome by Proxy there have been in parents of children with autistic spectrum disorder in each of the last three years; and if he will make a statement. [117140]

Mr. Hutton

Information is not collected centrally about the number of cases of alleged Munchhausen Syndrome by Proxy there have been, in parents of children with autistic spectrum disorder.

In addition, we awarded eleven "Investing in Dentistry" grants in Shropshire which generated promises of 24,750 extra patient registrations with dentists. We will publish further plans for modernising and improving access to NHS dentistry soon.
