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??

      DVLA Licence Renewal

      By Pugwash · Posted

      I had to renew my licence - took photocopy of my current licence and also my renewal application and posted everything off. Within 10 days received my new licence. My old licence was due to run out in January so I submitted the renewal early December.

      Any interest in a Barter scheme?

      I cannot remember who ran/organised the original ED LETS. They had meetings at the ED Community Centre every so often. I think there were about 20 - 25 people involved.

      That looks consistent with what I saw when I checked a few weeks ago, after someone raised a fresh thread asking about the progress.  I was about to post here asking if anyone could help with what seemed a bit of  a  mystery.  The planning register didn't show the application as decided.  I couldn't find any minutes of the committee meeting that James reported on last year, or any mention in any other minutes of the application.  The meeting was itself  flagged in the meetings schedule as MOVED (presumably to another date).   Incidentally, I remember one of the atttached planning documents being a report on the financial prospects then pertaining.  As far as I understood and remember it seemed to show the construction for sale of the buildings a ? poor prospect for the investment.  I'm no expert though.
