Mrs. Ann Winterton: To ask the Secretary of State for Health if he will make a statement on the use of non-precious metals in dental appliances in the NHS; and if he will calculate the percentage change in the non-precious metals claimed for in the last 10 years. [109583] Mr. Hutton: Both precious and non-precious metal alloys continue to have their place in restorative dentistry. The Statement of Dental Remuneration (SDR) sets out the conditions as to materials which may be used in the fabrication of appliances in the General Dental Services. The wide diversity of both precious and non-precious metal alloys to meet true clinical need is reflected in the SDR. The SDR, including the conditions as to materials, is under continuing review with the representatives of the dental profession so as to reflect current best practice. Information on the number of incidences of the dental treatment item 1712, full or jacket crown cast in non-precious metal alloy for 1988-89 and 1998-99, is shown in the table: General Dental Service (GDS): number of incidences England and Wales _________________________________________________________________________________________________. 1988-89 1998-99 Percentage increase Number of incidences 5,520 28,217 411 _________________________________________________________________________________________________. The increase in the number of these incidences is affected by changes in the types of treatment available over the ten year period.

Mrs. Ann Winterton: To ask the Secretary of State for Health if he will calculate the rise in the cost of palladium-based precious metals used in dental appliances over the last 10 years; and if he will calculate the percentage change in the palladium-based precious metals claimed for by dentists from the NHS over the last 10 years. [109581] Mr. Hutton: The cost of palladium-based precious metals used in dental appliances depends on the prices negotiated in contracts between purchasers and suppliers. These will be affected by the price quotations in the metal markets. The average price for palladium in the London market in 1988-89 was about $130 or £75 and in 1998-99 was about $310 or £190. Palladium is only one constituent with fine gold and platinum in precious metal appliances. Precious metal casting alloys for use in the General Dental Services must contain not less than 33 per cent. fine gold, platinum or palladium. The available data do not distinguish between the constituents of precious metal alloys and the incidence of precious metal dental appliances cannot therefore be broken down further. Information on the number of incidences of the dental treatment item 1711, full or jacket crown cast in precious metal alloy and the comparable treatments 1705 and 1706 which were deleted from 1 December 1996, is shown for 1988-89 and 1998-99. General Dental Services (GDS): Number of incidences England and Wales _________________________________________________________________________________________________. Item number 1988-89 1998-99 1705 7,240 -- 1706 154,180 -- 1711 52,670 259,359 Total 214,090 259,359 _________________________________________________________________________________________________. The total number of incidences for the treatments shown increased by 21 per cent. between 1988-89 and 1998-99.
