The answer

Answered by Nicola Sturgeon on 8 Jul 2009 · 19 days after it was lodged, on time

At 31 December 2008, 68.7% of children and 61.1% of adults were registered with an NHS dentist within the Clydesdale parliamentary constituency.
This does not represent the percentage of people in the Clydesdale parliamentary constituency who are registered. Registration (numerator) are based on the postcode of the practice where the patient has registered with a general dental practitioner. The population (denominator) is based on where the patient resides.
