Health Services Commissioner Annual Report

The 2005 Annual Report of the Health Services Commissioner http://www.health.vic.gov.au/hsc/annrep0405.pdf records that there were 178 complaints about dentists - five less than in the previous year.
However the number of complaints against dental prosthetists increased by eight to 14. The report says that it seems that there may be a need for several adjustments to a denture before a satisfactory fit is achieved.
Commissioner Beth Wilson notes that there were several issues concerning health privacy legislation, in particular the storage or disposal of medical records where a practice closes.
