Even after Brexit when now so much money flows into NHS? Strange.
NHS dentistry functionally no longer exists.
My youngest child has never been to a dentist. We’re with the only NHS dentist we could find in the area that would take us on. They say they are unable to deal with anything other than emergency work. My partner was told they can refer us to private practice immediately if we pay. Luckily my children have good teeth and while mine haven’t been great (fillings fallen out) I’m not in any pain. When I was a child we went for a checkup every 6 months.
We had my kids appointments canceled so many times due to low staff that it took nearly 2yrs between checkups.
Out town is having businesses closing and being replaced with more “luxury” flats and plots of land are having homes built on them but there is not enough room in schools, doctors or dentists to handle the extra families living here.
And we call ourselves a first world nation.
