DENTAL CLINICS
State To Pay For Buildings
A statement that the Government had decided that school dental clinic buildings established or extended after April .1 next were to be wholly paid for by the State, was made yesterday by the Minister of Health, Mr. Nordmeyer. He said that from that date the Government would also meet "the cost of the initial standard non-technical equipment for the clinics. Up to the present, said the Minister, school dental clinic committees had been required to contribute one-third of the cost of the clinic buildings and the whole of the cost of non-technical equipment. In view of the need for extending dental clinics for the purpose of ensuring a more comprehensive dental service for the children, the time had arrived when the whole cost should more properly be borne by the Government. No doubt this decision would be welcomed by those committees contemplating the erection of new clinics or alterations to existing buildings. • •
