What annoys me is that here it's pay and display, where you pay in advance based on how long you're going to be, how the hell do I know how long the wait's going to be for A&E, and how long it's going to take after that? I just end up buying 24hrs each time.

wow! i had no idea...

The patients don't queue round the block in their thousands (overnight even) for nothing you know. That "Find an NHS Dentist" site tells porkies. It includes dentists who have no NHS availability but who maintain a "waiting list" . There is absolutely nothing to prevent an NHS dentist who has an NHS patient who pops his clogs one day filling his timeslot with a private patient who can pay the requisite £175/hour for routine treatment, if he can find one..
Even the dental emergency clinics at NHS Hospitals are mostly fiction and in any event can only make appointments in the evening when commercial dentists are closed. Presumably for contractual reasons.
Mustn't deny the dentists their gold plated crusts.

Though round here in Telford there were places at NHS dentists going begging a couple of months ago. We had no trouble when we moved here, and spaces are still available.
Despite this, people in Telford were complaining to the papers about the lack of NHS dentists - apparently they were only ringing the first few on the list and stopping before getting to those with spaces, claming they were all full.

Perfect. Now if only the GPs would follow the example of the dentists...
£47.65 including VAT makes it a bit more than a quid a litre!
Obviously sniffing the isopropanol... ;-)
Who moved the decimal point... :-) I'm sure it was different last time I looked - glad I didn't order...
