I live near Goose Green. An injured fox came into our garden on Saturday morning to die. He must have been run over. I'm not the biggest fan of the scrawny creatures, but it was actually quite harrowing...seeing the fear in his eyes. Called the RSPCA and various fox protection leagues, but no-one could make it to SE London to help the little fellow on his way. Eventually took a couple of hours, and then my husband had to shovel him into a black bag...not the dignified burial one would hope for!
I had a similar incident with a very scrawny fox at work. By the time the RSPCA chap turned up the fox had already died. Chap said it was very common - there are too many foxes and not enough food and the pack reject the weak ones who just slope off to die. I had assumed it was an old fox, but in fact it was quite young though fully grown.

    • For those wanting to boycott US products, it might be useful to consider  a list of brands owned  by Proctor and Gamble:-     Ariel laundry detergent Crest toothpaste[4] Dawn dishwashing Downy fabric softener and dryer sheets Fairy washing up liquid Febreze odour eliminator Gillette razors, shaving soap, shaving cream, body wash, shampoo, deodorant Head & Shoulders shampoo Olay personal and beauty products Oral-B oral hygiene products Pantene haircare products Tide laundry detergents and products Vicks cough and cold products    
    • Not sure about changing hands but the Peckham Rye one is open and hasn’t had any random closures. Our child is very happy there but there was a resolved Ofsted complaint half way through last year.  Things don’t look good for the Devon nursery owned by the same company - looks like loads of issues with Ofsted which can be seen in its latest report. 
    • I was in Forest Hill Road today, just past the Rye, and noticed there is a dentist next to the Herne (pub) that has NHS signs outside. I've never had any problems getting NHS dental treatment in East Dulwich, and I get regular check ups. I've been to three  different dental practices here over the years, all with NHS treatment. I think the difficulties are in other parts of the country. Malumbu has a good explanation above. I didn't hear the Radio 4 programme, but I'm guessing that a  radio programme is not going to have time to say where you CAN easily get NHS treatment, and is bound to focus on the negatives and the horror stories, otherwise it would be very boring! ETA: Re children's teeth, I think the major issue is not lack of dentists, it is children being given sugary food, drinks and confectionery which rots their teeth. The education of parents needs to be about this, not just about tooth brushing. And in some cases the poor diet may also be due to lack of money for healthy food. Though of course the lack of dentists doesn't help, if  the tooth rotting can't be rectified by fillings or extraction.
