UNIVERSITY OF HULL AND YORK DENTAL SCHOOL BID

Early day motion 183, tabled 24 May 2005 by David Davis (Conservative). Signed by 30 members.

That this House notes that there are fewer NHS dentists per head of population in South Yorkshire, West Yorkshire, North and East Yorkshire and Northern Lincolnshire than in England as a whole; further notes that, following the success of their Hull York Medical School, the universities of Hull and York are launching a bid to open a joint Hull York Dental School to address the local shortage of dentists; and calls upon the Government to look favourably upon this bid.

Signatures by party: Labour 17, Conservative 10, DUP 2, Liberal Democrat 1.
