I WAS intrigued to read the headline article in The Press on March 13, about increased NHS dental funding.

NHS patients in Copmanthorpe and Bishopthorpe were told late last year that money had run out, and no more routine NHS treatment was available until the new financial year.

I wonder how well this bodes for future dental funding and, incidentally, for the funding of GP practices under the new system?
