Petition

Reimburse 5% of NI Contributions for unattainable Dental Care Treatments

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

Many people like myself have not been able to receive NHS dental treatments for years. Yet the government is still allegedly using National Insurance Contributions to fund them – I refuse to pay for something I do not have access to. I demand the funds to be reimbursed and the NI lowered.
NHS dental care exists only on paper. I have been unable to register with an NHS dentist for 2 years now - yet a private appointment I could get with 1 day's notice, therefore it is not a shortage of dentists, it is a broken system. I refuse to pay for services I am unable to access - I am happy to pay for them directly myself, privately, when the government stops charging me for them. If this was a privately run comapny, it would be labelled a scam.
