PUBLIC BUSINESS. - DENTISTS BILL, 1928—RECOMMITTED—(RESUMED)—AMENDMENT 18).

Deputy Hennessy is doubtful if I have met what was promised on the Committee Stage. I think I have fully met what was promised. In fact, I am now trying to get from the House what the House promised me on the Committee Stage. Deputy Hennessy, I think, alone on the Committee Stage, raised objection to any Dentists Bill whatever —at least he almost went so far as to say that it was a limitation of the large field that medical men previously occupied, and he almost went root and branch against the Dentists Bill, or at any rate he would weaken a Bill which was finally allowing every medical man to be a dentist in practice. I never promised to meet that point of view. There was an amendment advanced here which was accepted by the House simply to give us something better to base a further amendment on, and I was asked to bring forward amendments of a particular type. At that time my mind was running on the anxiety of the medical men who wished to practise dentistry registering themselves as dentists and paying a fee for such registration. On consideration it seemed to me that that was getting even to a worse stage than the amendment that was put in, and the best way to get out of the difficulty was to get such an amendment as would cover the case of the sick poor who have to be attended to in dispensary areas where one must recognise that they do not always have a dental man in attendance. An amendment has been brought forward to meet that, and it has not been shown to me that it does not meet that. Somebody ought to show me some case and say whether it covers that case, or they should get an improved formula to cover it. But this has been brought forward in the interests of the sick poor, and also to take away this very large power that was given to all medical men to engage in the practice of dentistry. On that Deputy Ward, I think, complained of this amendment that it would, for the future, prevent a medical man holding himself out as ready to practise dentistry. It does not require an amendment to effect that. The Bill as it stands prevents that. As the Bill stands a doctor may engage in a certain type of dental practice, but he may not hold himself out as ready to practise dentistry. He may not call himself a dentist; he may simply take dental practice as and when it comes along, and that point should be recognised if Deputy Ward's point had any force in it.
