Put in place financial help for all Dental Care Professionals during Covid-19

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

To create the same financial plan the dentists have been given in Scotland so employed / self employed Dental therapists/ hygienists / nurses will not suffer due to hours being cut or having no work in practice.

In Scotland there has been a financial plan put in place to support the dentists yet the dental therapists, hygienists, nurses and other DCP’s have been forgotten about. It is only fair ALL dental professionals are given help during this horrible time and not just the dentists.
