"99% of dentists across the south-west aren’t accepting any new adult patients."

Getting anything but emergency healthcare in the UK is nigh impossible for much of the country now, I've been on the waiting lists of all my local dentists for over 18 months.

This'll get spread around as heavily as that misleading bread line photo from the USSR, right?

    I did stand in those infamous lines in 80's Poland and while it did sucked, it still beats the hell of not getting anything because being poor or because the fist two people bought all of whatever you wanted.

    Also those weren't the bread lines, bread was available. Hell, now i have to sign the list in store and order bread in advance because they only bake as much as needed and it's often impossible to buy bread in local store after the morning pass.
