Keep Parkway, New Addington (Special Care Dental Community Clinic) OPEN!

Rejected 11 signatures

What the petition asks

There are proposed plans to close the Special Care Dentistry department in Parkway health centre, New Addington. This would leave only two clinics ( in Thornton Heath and South-End Croydon) to serve Croydon and it's surrounding areas.

Please sign this petition as a sign of support

NHS England had previously carried out a needs assessment where they found that the dental decay rates in Croydon were amongst the worst in London and there has been high demand for NHS Dental Services in the New Addington area since.

For over 35 years the Special Care department have provided a caring, understanding environment for children and adult patients with disabilities.

Parkway has built long-term relationships with their patients and the teams at local care homes and schools
