My family have been NHS patients at ED Dental Care for a number of years. I have just called to try and get an appointment for my 6 year old and was told that NHS appointments aren?t available until February but if we want a private appointment we can get one now for ?25. Has anyone else experienced this? Is it allowed? It obv penalises the patients who can?t pay and damages any argument that the NHS is ?free at the point of entry? (ie by that point you may well be crippled with tooth ache?)

I called this week for a checkup and was offered the first NHS appointment in mid March 2022! Could have had an earlier one as a private patient. As it is just a checkup I took the March offer, though I am wondering whether all dentists operate like this post Covid??

      Vet recommendation

      By tiddles · Posted

      Miss Robson is the last of the old school independent vets. All the chains are have seriously hiked their prices over the last few years which now makes pet ownership only possible for the wealthy few. Even with pet insurance -( which often excludes items or has ‘deductibles’ ) it is just so much money. A visit with some medication is often £150 - £200. The vets themselves are excellent.

      Awful. A Google search came up with this, but will he check his office email over Christmas? Maybe worth also contacting local councillor? 'To contact Southern Housing's CEO, Paul Hackett, you can try his direct email, [email protected], or use the general contact email [email protected], as well as calling their main number, 0300 303 1066, for general inquiries or to be directed to the executive level.' Also, from the website: https://www.southernhousing.org.uk/latest-news/2025/contacting-us-over-the-festive-period   'Contacting us about an emergency? If you have an emergency outside of the above times over the festive period, such as severe flooding, an uncontainable leak, gas leak, complete electrical failure or lift breakdown, please call us on 0300 303 1066' I hope it is sorted out soon.

      Be careful in local shops

      Sorry but I think it's best if people just check things for themselves when they buy things. In three shops/restaurants (from some years back) I just avoid the places concerned, as in all three  cases I was pretty sure it wasn't a genuine mistake, and in one place  it happened more than once and usually late at night.
