Black testified at a Dental Estimates Board meeting chaired by Sir William Marshall about the 25000 pound income while the health system expanded his practice and costs. He reported hiring four more helpers and making an assistant a partner as he built a new surgery, yet after taxes he has no surplus to cover the new costs.
