The need for a new local source of supply
11.14
The Committee concluded and the Government agrees that
training for dentists be established in Hong Kong. To assist in
determining the scale of the requirement, the Committee estimated
the level of output necessary to achieve various ratios of dentists
to population, and the dates by which they could be achieved.
Their calculations are reproduced in this table -

In the light of this assessment MDAC recommended that plans
should now be made to establish a dental school starting with
a pre-clinical annual intake of at least 40, increasing to an
annual output of some 60 dentists after 1980. On this basis a
ratio of 1:6,000 could be reached by about the beginning of the
1990's. In the absence of any clear guidance about the desirable
or practicable ratio the Government accepts that these are
reasonable proposals, and as dentists require university
training, has consulted the UPGC on how the additional dentists
required can best be provided.
