Extend the maternity exemption for dental care
Rejected
15 signatures
What the petition asks
My daughter is now 6 months old and have been unable to use my free dental care. I am unsure if I will be able to make use of my exemption due to the uncertainty of Covid.
I ask that the maternity exemption is extended in order that we receive the free dental care that we are entitled to.

Due to covid-19, most (if not all) dentists have been closed except for emergencies and therefore women on low incomes have been unable to make use of their exemption.
