National Assembly for Wales

P-03-065 - NHS Dental Charges

Petition received: 19 July 2007

Lead Petitioner: Mrs. R M Swan, Severn Group WI

Number of Petitioners 1

Petition Wording:

We, the undersigned members of Severn Group WI are very disappointed with the current scale of NHS dental charges, in particular then huge difference in cost between the three treatment bands, especially bands 2 and 3 at £39 and £177 respectively.

There certainly cannot be any justification for such a huge price gap between these upper bands. Surely it must be possible to have an intermediate price range to accommodate the huge variety of treatments provided.

With this in mind it is strongly felt therefore that there aught to be a revue of the existing scale of NHS dental charges and we ask you to bring this to the attention of the Welsh Assembly on our behalf.
