Kids dental scheme under threat

[snifter]

Bah. Such a good scheme, especially for kids who might otherwise never see a dentist or only rarely see one.

That is really bad news. There are many issues around low income families, diet, hygiene etc and a scheme to get young people access to dental services is always a positive.

It seems that labor governments bring in schemes for low income people and subsequent liberal governments take them away. There are spending cuts to make to control budgets but there are many parallels here between British Labour and Conservative government IMHO!
