You are right you have no evidence to support it and way off the mark wirth what is reckoned and what actually happens.
I can tell you as a parent it took 18 months to get my daughter a dentist with me making various calls to find out how far off the top off the list we were. At the time we were living in Nelson and was eventually placed with a dentist in Barnoldswick. Soon afterwards we were moving to Accrington and when I asked about moving to a dentist here I was told we would have to go back on the waiting list and do it all over again.
The system is a complete farce
