Verbatim
“This is a landmark moment for us. For the first time we have control over the referral pathway. Up to now we have been reliant on dentists choosing us to refer patients. Now we have a unique solution to influence referral patterns.”
“It's about saying as a country we can no longer afford for patients to have the full 'a la Carte' on the NHS. Crucially, public funds that are currently being spent on crowns, bridges and so on should be redirected into preventative care.”
