Tom_NUFC 0 Posted March 7, 2006 Share Posted March 7, 2006 This country's going to the dogs. You know, the idea of a welfare state that would provide decent public services for everyone was proposed during WWII. It gave a lot of people hope that the post war Britain would be a fairer place with more opportunity, and what's happening? Greedy people with sink or swim Laissez Faire attitudes are one by one stripping this away. Its disgusting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renton 22401 Posted March 7, 2006 Share Posted March 7, 2006 Is this true? I've heard nothing of it and a quick Google has revealed nothing either. As far as I was aware, dental care is free on the NHS for under 18s if you can find an NHS dentist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On 1st April the Department of Health is changing the procedure for contracts for NHS dentists. I'm predicting the result of this will be massive numbers of dentists pulling out of the NHS altogether. Just stand back and watch it happen, mate. The Government of course will blame dentists, and the general public will swallow it. But the fact is the new system will make it nigh on impossible for a dentist to treat people under the NHS. Private treatment for all is coming through the back door. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately for you lot, on this subject I know what I'm talking about. There are links out there.........here's a couple........ Link 1 Link 2 Note the last paragraph. What a scream that is, if you get my drift as it's obvious what has been happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
