1,000 NHS dental places in town
Thursday 5th March 2009, 12:10PM GMT.
A thousand new places for NHS dentist treatment were today up for grabs in Newport.
The places come after Keith Borrett, practice owner of Britannia House Dental Practice, was awarded a contract by Telford & Wrekin Primary Care Trust.
He had previously only been allowed to treat private patients and child NHS patients, but now, after a five-year battle, he has been awarded a contract to treat adult patients on the NHS.
Mr Borrett said: “They have initially allowed me to do 1,000 then the full adult contract will be negotiated. It’s a significant change.”
