4 Days with NO Swanage NHS dentist
As I write , we are 4 days without an NHS dentist in Swanage. I met with Richard Drax MP on the 30th March with Mandy Mason. A petition with over 2500 signatures was delivered. There is a solid commitment to a new NHS dentist in Swanage with 50% more capacity than the last. But WHEN??? The NHS have committed to a mobile unit in the meantime, but WHEN??? (Sound familiar?)
Earlier in the week we managed to pressure the NHS from a vague statement that a mobile unit would be available sometime after April 2012 to sometime IN April 2012. But WHEN??? Richard Drax agreed to meet with the NHS hierarchy to get that mobile in place. We are sending a DAILY reminder to Richard Drax, Dorset County Council and the NHS as the days drift by.....

It seems that Swanage is left out of the equation once again.
With a population of this size, access to an NHS dentist in Swanage seems imperative. If the NHS cannot provide one in a timely manner, it has a duty to explain why, and what steps are being taken to get this sorted. It is not a surprise; this has been on the cards for months; time enough to get cracking.
Can't really be difficult can it? If our MP can't deliver on this we need a better one.

Like the previous one who's party caused all these problems ... Yeah great!
Not necessarily - just someone who can deliver. There are MPs of all colours around the UK who have a good reputation for serving their area.
