CIRCLE WITH A DOT

@saxifraga My uninformed guess is that they will say that they are still providing NHS dentistry and that the contract doesn't say that anyone will get continuity of care by the same person (dentist).At our NHS surgery my wife rarely sees the same dentist twice, whereas I always see the same dentist. I think it's coincidental that she can't get up the stairs at the surgery.

RE: https://zirk.us/@ChrisMayLA6/116175237783526215And now the Competition & Market Authority is getting involved... reviewing whether dentists are utilising long NHS waiting list to raise prices.Errr... clearly the dentists are causing the long waiting lists by rationing NHS care (albeit due to it not being particularly profitable), so the answer almost by definition is going to be 'yes'.... the actual Q. is what will the CMA actually do?#Dentistry #NHS #economics #health h/t FT
