@officialgtfc Man Utd. Sheff Weds. Fourth round of the FA Cup. Cambridge. Swindon. So much to be so proud of. Best season in 20years! Gutted - but a brilliant season. UTFM

@officialgtfc Shocking from the keeper. Bread and butter save for the second and it’s cost two points.

@TheBDA @JoshFG This is the Government minister saying “Emergency Service” without using the word “Emergency” He thankfully has admitted - no more money. I trust therefore the BDA aren’t hoping for anything other than the above.

“So you’re saying we’re treating NHS dentistry as a ‘burning platform’, but we’ve only got buckets of water?” says @JoshFG MP. NHS dentistry has been described by Ministers as at 'death's door', as a 'burning platform'. We need a proportionate response to fund the rebuild.

@TheBDA It would break the stand off that isn’t solving anything. How long have the BDA wanted contract reform? How much has actually changed? The situation is getting worse and worse, for patients in terms of access and clinicians as NHS dentistry becomes even less economically viable

@OliverPierce51 @ShivPabary No. If NHS dentistry is going to become the first part of NHS to be formally moved from a universal to a targeted service government need to own it. It would be a first, and many would regard it as the thin end of the wedge. It would be political suicide.

“Voters can’t comprehend why Ministers can’t fix a simple problem,” says @ShivPabary “That people in pain can’t get the care they need.” “The Spending Review will sink or save NHS dentistry, and whichever way she goes the Chancellor will have to own it.” lbc.co.uk/opinion/views/…

@el_dentisto @TheBDA @ShivPabary I absolutely agree, those are not decisions for dentists to make. But, there is no more money. How much to return enough clinicians to the NHS to provide a decent service? Budget now is £3bil (with terrible access), with no signs of increasing

@OliverPierce51 @TheBDA @ShivPabary It would also be difficult for clinicians. How do you quantify pain? Whose problem is worthy enough of NHS care? Government needs to define the rules of the system and they need to own the outcomes of those choices

The turn at the half-way line and then the through ball 😚👌 Great finish from Justin Obikwu but it's all about Kieran Green's assist! ✨ @EFL | @officialgtfc

@iangordon1959 It will be a blow for all businesses, but privately have the ability to set fees to incorporate inc costs. NHS practices… it gets harder and harder for them each year.

@Policy_Tom @EddieCrouch The chance of a reformed contract - good enough to incentivise dentists like myself to bring practices like mine back into the NHS… Dentistry might be a hot topic but no party will fund capitation for whole population properly.

There is a clear consensus that reforming the contract is crucial and urgent, and that capitation is the right basis for reform. And also that bringing dentists back to the NHS is going to be an uphill struggle, requiring bold short-term action & long-term government commitment

@TheBDA I can’t wait any longer. I served notice at the end of February with a very heavy heart but sadly our NHS income doesn’t cover our overheads anymore.

New official data shows 60% of dentists in England are thinking of leaving the NHS. 6 in 10 dentists say their morale is low or very low. Government has offered nothing to turn the tide. We need real reform👉 38d.gs/SaveNHSDentist…

Lacking in both new funding and any real ambition this plan was repeatedly missold to parliament and to millions of patients. Thanks to @PaulBlomfieldMP I trust @wesstreeting, @PreetKGillMP and @libdemdaisy will pick this up.
BDA@TheBDA

"So Minister Leadsom was right, that it's not new money?" asks @PaulBlomfieldMP "Well, I have, as I say, corrected the record," says Secretary of State for Health @VictoriaAtkins So there we have it. On NHS dentistry both honesty & ambition have been in very short supply.

@TheBDA @robhastings Can we please move away from “registration” - only those in an active course of treatment are “registered” with an NHS dentist. Govt has rejected calls for registration because a) they will have to pay for it and b) they have only funded dentistry for 50% of the population!

“I can’t imagine how desperate people must be to try "DIY dentistry", without anaesthetic, when they don’t know what they’re doing." @robhastings offers a long read, from the front line of a service in crisis. inews.co.uk/news/health/mo…

I recently had to turn down some work. Not something I’ve ever done! It was for someone I consider a friend and whom I would always like to help. As someone who doesn’t come from wealth and who has seen very bad times, I see it almost as a criminal act to turn down work! But I only have 4-6 calendar days off in any month and 8 of my working days each month are 12-14 hr days. I had to draw the line somewhere although I’m still trying to help that friend during the working days that I have. I can’t afford to kill myself in keeping NHS Dentistry alive, can I? I must say though that it is a good problem to have!
