This is the sort of thing I used to associate with America.

Hundreds queue at new NHS dental practice in Bristol hoping for treatment

Police called to manage crowds on opening day of St Pauls dental practice, formerly a Bupa facility

Tooth decay in children has doubled in the last few years.
WTF is going on.

Strange that we help the rest of the world, but can't look after ourselves any more. Bet the migrants in 4* hotels get free dentistry. Hope people wake up before it's too late.

A lot of so called refugees fly home for dental treatment and then return to the UK.

Cheeky feckers!

The complete mess of uk dentistry is down to Tony Blair

Ok I'll bite, explain.

New Labour changed the dentists contracts

Why hasn't anyone changed them back?

Because the Tories haven't been in power for the last 14 years - didn't you know that?

It's absolutely amazing how many times I have heard Tory supporters blatantly blaming Labour for the problems that affect our country today.

Absolutely incredible.

Its a wonder they dont blame Charlies health issues on brexit!!!

My Ted Heath have been full of fillings since he was in power because I didn't look after them.

Is that a bit of north border rhyming slang?

 

[Brigadier]

but can't look after ourselves any more.

It's not a case of "can't", but won't.

This current rabble are relying on the stupidity of the electorate, the weight of the right-leaning meeja, and FPTP to give them another five years at the trough, despite said electorate being obviously shafted (dry).

It's akin to being punched in the face, and asking for more of the same.

Tory brexit voters need to own their decisions.

They love blaming others for their stupidity. Play with matches get burned. Believe Tory lies about Brexit get stuffed.

Sorry no sympathy for the crew that like to call a spade a spade.

Hmm take responsibility

Perhaps you could peddle that narrative in Gaza and voting for Hamas ???

So what you are saying is any Tory / brexit voter should not get NHS dental treatment ??

How is Ali Harbi Ali doing ??

What's brexit got to do with it pillock?

Brexit warning - The Dentist

The ADG has issued a “Brexit warning” for dentistry in 2023 following the publication of Health and Brexit by the Nuffield Trust which found the number of EU-trained dentists registering in the UK has halved since the referendum and “has never recovered”.

The ADG has issued a “Brexit warning” for dentistry in 2023 following the publication of Health and Brexit by the Nuffield Trust which found the number of EU-trained dentists registering in the UK has halved since the referendum and “has never recovered”.

The report states that before the EU referendum consistently well over 500 dentists trained in the EU/EFTA countries registered in the UK each year, making up around a quarter of the workforce. The halving of this figure, the report suggests, has played a part in the current access to NHS dental care. The report also reveals that the level of dentists in the UK, relative to population is lower than any EU country submitting data to the OECD, and that Germany and Italy have about 70 per cent more.

They read the Mail, Sun etc - the lie is that the Tories have never been in power in the last 14 years.

It does seem to be particularly dire at present. Yes of course we're still much better off with much better infrastructure and services than many countries, however that doesn't detract from the fact. The NHS struggling on many fronts, local councils strapped for cash and going bankrupt, potholes and badly eroded roads (not sure I've seen it as bad in my 30+ years of driving), lack of GPs, lack of dentists, growing gap between top and bottom/middle earners, lack of (truly) affordable housing etc etc.

Part of the problem? We don't have longer term strategies around much of this stuff. And where there are strategies, they're often not adhered to. Another part of the problem? We spend far too much time talking and not enough time doing. Another part of the problem? Far too much bureaucracy. All of it combines to the cluster f... we're currently in.

And when you actually listen to politicians of all parties talk about this stuff, much of what comes out their mouths is just generic 'stating the obvious' rhetoric.

So are you of the opinion that any one who voted Tory or brexit is not entitled to NHS dental treatment

How is Ali Harbi Ali

I assume you know who he is ??

How goes the dogging ???
