Shameful. Dentists should hang their heads in shame!

So many dentists now only take on private patients, with current NHS patients often having to travel hundreds of miles to get treatment on the NHS, if they can get it at all, yet we read millions of pounds are unspent.

Is this in a bid to privitise the entire service that only the rich can afford?

I repeat: dentists should hang their heads in shame!

Dentists return £900m after failing to see NHS patients

Sum represents £1 out of every £7 they have been given by NHS as dentists opt to chase private work.

The issue seems to be ... "dentists were being left with no choice because the current contract, which is now 20 years old, meant dentists were struggling to make money working for the health service.
The union said the sums that could be earned in the private sector for things like new patient exams, fillings and extractions were twice what the NHS paid."
