I AGREE with Kevin Benson on the matter of dentists (Letters, November 8).

Without warning, myself and my husband were left without a dentist. Unfortunately, I also was registered with Mr Flynn of Acomb. I now cannot find an alternative dental practice that has not turned to privatisation, and is also accessible to a person in a wheelchair.

My husband finds himself without an NHS dentist and no prospect of getting one anywhere near York.

The NHS helpline (0118 9183359) said the nearest he would be able to get treatment is in Hull.
