SCHOOL DENTAL SERVICE
EXTENSIONS NEXT YEAR SUBSIDIES FOR NEW CLINICS (From Our Parliamentary Reporter) WELLINGTON, Oct. 27. Extensions of the school dental service are planned for next year, and details regarding the staffing of clinics were given to-day by the Minister of Health (Mr P. Fraser). It was expected that a further 20 nurses would be available for the establishment of new clinics, the Minister said, and negotiations on this point were at present underway with school committees whose applications for clinics had been lodged with the Health Department for some considerable time. When these negotiations were completed, it would be possible to determine the location of the new clinics. " The Government has considered the reinstatement of subsidies on the erection of dental clinics," Mr Frasor added, "and has now decided to make subsidies available on the basis of £2 for £l."
