Ensure that NHS dentistry services are accessible in North Dorset.

What the petition asks

Ensure that both children and adults in North Dorset have access to comprehensive NHS dental care.

Residents of North Dorset have very limited options for NHS dental care, often needing to drive up to 50 or 60 miles to see a dentist. Many are forced to consider private dental care, which is too expensive for most working individuals.

Why it was rejected

It was about a matter for a local council or devolved government, not the UK Government or Parliament.
