160) MAJORITY REPORT. A REGIONAL DENTAL STAFF. 362. But we should be sorry to leave this question without making any practical proposals at all. And we do make one now which we consider will have beneficial effects on the some- what varied collection of additional benefit schemes for dental treatment. We refer to the institution of a Regional Dental Staff. No insurance dental service can, we are told, be satis- factory without effective supervision, especially over the quality of materials and standard of workmanship used in dentures. (See Brock, Q. 23,952.) In the experience of the Ministry of Pensions we understand that in one pension area 35 per cent. of the cases examined were stated to be unsatisfactory. This did not mean that 35 per cent. of all the work done was unsatisfactory, since the cases examined included all those in which any complaint had been made by the patient. 363. A Regional Dental staff would be responsible for the examination of all estimates, and would actually see a proportion of the cases after treatment was complete. The proportion of cases seen need not, apart from complaint cases, be large. The value of such a system of inspection is to a great extent psycho- logical, and the effect is due to the knowledge that any particular case may come under scrutiny. 364. It is clear to us that if dental benefit is eventually made universal, a system of regional officers would be essential for its successful operation. If, realising the larger alternative, dental treatment were to become one element in a general health service for the whole population, some such arrangements would be equally necessary. But even at the present stage of additional benefits there would be a real value in establishing a partial system of control which could naturally develop into the fuller scheme. In fact, just because the present system is so varied in its methods and provision, it may be held that some such control is specially needed. 365. As to cost, we have received from the Ministry of Health an estimate for a Regional Dental Service, on the assumption of dental benefit being universally available on uniform terms. Twenty-one Regional Dental Officers are suggested, each with a clerk, and all under the control of a chief inspector at head- quarters. With due allowance for travelling expenses, office accommodation, &c., the cost is estimated at £31,000 a year. For the service under present conditions the cost would be substantially less. We have not received an estimate for such a limited provision, but even if it approached the above-mentioned figure we would recommend the expenditure as a very desirable means of improving the present service. As the activities of the Regional Dental Service would in very considerable measure tend to protect the expenditure of the Approved Societies on additional
