Dental treatment in mid Wales has become a two-tier system where the rich can afford private care while those who are less financially secure are left on waiting lists, Liberal Democrats say.
During the Senedd this week, Welsh Liberal Democrat Senedd Member for Mid & West Wales Jane Dodds pressed the Labour Government on dental provisions in Mid Wales, warning that current provisions meant there was a “two-tier system.
Previous research by the Liberal Democrats showed over 20 per cent of dentists in Powys and Ceredigion are set to retire soon, making Mid Wales a potentially greater dental desert than it is currently. Recent polling also revealed that over a fifth of Welsh people tried to get a local NHS dentist appointment in the last year but couldn’t get one.
