NHS Dentists

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.....
