The Chair of the All Party Parliamentary Group on Dentistry, Sir Paul Beresford MP, has tabled four questions to the Health Secretary regarding the proposed ARF hike by the General Dental Council. Unfortunately, as Parliament has risen for the summer, there is not likely to be an answer to these questions before autumn.
The following parliamentary questions were asked by Sir Paul.
