This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

We understand you are concerned about the availability of dental services under the NHS, however it's not clear what you want the Government to do in order to 'guarantee' that all NHS patients can register with a dentist. In any case, it is for individual surgeries to determine whether they have capacity to accept the registration of new NHS patients, not the UK Government or Parliament.

You might like to sign these petitions which call for related actions:
