Mr. Gareth ThomasTo ask the Secretary of State for Health what discussions on a reciprocal agreement to recognise qualifications in dental surgery achieved in 511W Kenya there have been in the last 30 years with the Kenyan authorities; and if he will make a statement. [96792]
§ Mr. LammyThe General Dental Council has statutory responsibility within the United Kingdom for determining which qualifications confer eligibility for admission to the dental register. Discussions about reciprocal arrangements would be a matter for the GDC. Advice for overseas dentists seeking to become eligible to work in the United Kingdom is available from the GDC and the National Advice Centre for Postgraduate Education, Faculty of Dental Surgery of the Royal College of Surgeons.
