I will move on to talk about pouches. You mentioned snus, which is very popular in Scandinavia; it seems that almost everyone in Scandinavia is taking the product. What is the evidence for banning it?

Why is it specifically mentioned in the LCM?

I declare an interest, as I am a general practitioner in the national health service.

Could you give me some examples of herbal products that are going to be banned?

I apologise. I am talking about dentists.

I will put that to the dentists whom I have spoken to.

Minister, the UK Labour Government has increased employer national insurance contributions, which has put a lot of strain on to the NHS dentists to whom I have spoken. Can anything be done to help practices? Obviously, a greater cost will equate to their needing to recoup that money. In many cases, that means more private work rather than NHS work.

What happens to overseas-qualified dentists working in England who want to come to Scotland?

I am asking about an overseas-qualified dentist who wants to be a dentist in Scotland and has to be supervised for one year. Is that unique to Scotland or is that applicable across the UK?

Dentists.

I turn to domiciliary visits, which I brought up in the chamber. A practice in my region of Glasgow has stopped domiciliary visits because it found it to be simply uneconomical to continue them. Obviously, that involves the most vulnerable proportion of people who are seen. What is the Government doing to improve and increase domiciliary visits?
