Hundreds queue for NHS dental places, Bristol, UK - 05 Feb 2024
; Bristol, UK. Hundreds of people have queued through the day to register as NHS patients at the St Pauls Dental Practice which is reopening run by a new company after the previous Bupa run dental practice closed last year and will accept new NHS patients. A strong local campaign helped to get the dentist reopened. Thousands of people were left without an NHS dentist amid a row over NHS funding for dentistry and a national shortage of places for NHS dental patients with many dental practices refusing to take any new patients on the NHS.
