Petition Action

Nationalise all UK dentistry bringing it into the NHS.

Petition Details

On nationalising NHS dentistry, place a standard return of service on dentists. Those who don't want to remain in NHS ie have an established private practice can pay off their return of service. Money will be used to allow NHS dentists to get more from the NHS charging framework. Improve retention.

Additional Information

All new dentists join NHS. Current U.K. dentistry is failing the people. UK dental health is very poor. Large numbers of people cannot afford dental treatment. Dentists are walking away from the NHS framework as they say it doesn't renumerate effectively.

This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.

We're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do. You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.

We could accept a petition calling on the Government to ban private dental services, or increase the tax on income from private dental services, if either of those are things you want to happen.

You may also wish to sign this petition which calls for a similar action:
