Proceeding contribution from Tom Brake (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 3 July 2007. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Dental Services (Sutton and Merton).
Dental Services (Sutton and Merton)
I want to press the Minister on one issue before she finishes. She has clarified that there is a statutory duty to provide local dental services and to reflect local needs, and she has also said that the dental budget will be incorporated in the overall PCT budget. That gives rise to the concern that, when the dental budget competes with cancer services budgets, it might lose out. What guarantee, if any, can she therefore give that PCTs will maintain broadly the same spending profile for dental services?
