To ask the Secretary of State for Health how many NHS dentists there were in the Romsey constituency in(a) 1992, (b) 1997 and (c) 2001. [155853]

Ms Stuart

Information on the number of dentists is available by health authority rather than by constituency.

Romsey constituency was located in Hampshire Family Health Service Authority (FHSA) at September 1992. From April 1996 Hampshire FHSA split into three health authorities, and Romsey is now included in Southampton and South West Hampshire Health Authority.

The number of dentists in the General Dental Services and Personal Dental Services at 30 September is shown in the table for Hampshire FHSA for 1992 and for the three successor HAs for 1997 and 2000.

Ms Stuart
