Mr Lansley
When the right hon. Gentleman has no argument, he resorts to abuse.
Ben Gummer (Ipswich) (Con)
T6. Dentists in Ipswich are increasingly concerned about having to put right work done by dentists from outside the UK who have received temporary registration from the General Dental Council, causing yet more cost to the NHS and trouble for those receiving care. How will Ministers measure the quality of those receiving temporary registration?
Paul Burstow
The hon. Gentleman raises an important issue that we are discussing with the GDC. The council’s work on revalidation will ensure that the work of those supervising foreign dentists and, where appropriate, foreign dentists themselves is properly covered.
