It's scary how access to an NHS dentist has been removed without much of a grumble at all.Privatised by stealth and no one really batted an eyelid. I don't doubt for a second tories will be looking to take a similar approach to the rest of it (GPs next?).
If our apathetic electorate give them a chance.
Can't get a dentist or see a GP because all the brown people are using them though innit?It's scary how access to an NHS dentist has been removed without much of a grumble at all.
Is it because people hate going? Apart from the odd story about someone yanking their teeth out with some rusty pliers there isn't much media coverage of it?
After optometrists and dentists then GPs would seem the obvious next thing to privatise. I believe they are already self employed rather than being directly employed by the NHS?
Anyway, all the information is available. If the dumb ***** of this country choose to vote tory again then i give up.
Will the chance to stop a brown person from potentially entering the country be more important to voters than access to healthcare? I am concerned about the answer we might be given.
I believe there is a dad jokes thread!!!Hope not, got an appointment at 2:30

GPs are already private. They always were. They were independent contractors when the NHS was formed.It's scary how access to an NHS dentist has been removed without much of a grumble at all.

The current system is to train them in the NHS and then once they are qualified they go private so we aren't getting the benefit from training them. The government could incentivise/disincentivise NHS/Private work in the way they pay for NHS treatment, access to NHS pensions and benefits, cost of private licence or increasing the tax on private work, repayment of training costs if not doing NHS work etc.I'm really not sure what you can do to stop Dentists going private. Unless of course you make it some sort of a legal obligation that they have to fill a certain quota of NHS patients if they want to 'practice' here. They could of course train more dentists under the NHS under long term contracts, best of luck with that.
