Invest in more dentists, doctors surgerys and schools.
Existing dentists and doctors surgery’s need major investments.
We need many more dentists, doctors and schools being built which would then offer hundreds more jobs and ease the pressure on local facilities that can’t cope with their current patients/students.
It is impossible to register to a dentist as an NHS patient or get a GP appointment.
I have a 6 month old baby who’s just got his first 2 teeth yet I can’t find a dentist in my entire county that are taking on NHS patients.
Where I live, I’ve seen 3 new housing estates built yet no more doctors, schools or dentists being built to accommodate these new families let alone the existing ones.

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.
We understand that you're concerned about access to dentists and GPs, but it's not clear exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do.
Your petition refers to investing in existing surgeries and schools, but it's not clear exactly what investments you want the Government to make.
The Government could provide additional funding to support increased commissioning of dental services and GP practices, and we have published the following petition, which you might like to sign:
Increase funding to ensure all adults and children have access to a dentist: petition.parliament.uk/petitions/625518
The Government isn't directly responsible for the training and education of GPs, but could increase investment to support the training, recruitment and retention of doctors in general practice.
If you want to start a new petition you'd need to provide your full name.
