Those patients who are able to contribute towards the cost of
their dental treatment are charged fees of fs. or 2s. for the course
of treatment, excluding dentures.
The scale of charges for the supply of dentures is the same
as that operating in the case of the supply of milk to necessitous
cases, the maximum charge to those persons coming within the scale
being £4 for a complete set of dentures (upper and lower). If, however,
the income of the family is more than that allowed under the
scale, the National Health Insurance scale is applied, i.e., an amount
from £4 10s. Od. to £6 10s. Od., according to circumstances.
Every applicant for dental treatment is required to fill in a
special " Dental Treatment Application Form," to be obtained only
at the Welfare Centres. The application is then considered and a
voucher issued to the applicant authorising treatment at the Clinic.
This voucher is only available for six months.
