It can't be!

What? A socialized medical system making decisions based on money and not on clinical concerns? No way!!

'Standards drop' in NHS dentistry
BBC News

Reforms of NHS dentistry mean some patients are receiving substandard care, critics claim.

Dental Laboratories Association figures show a drop in the number of complex treatments, like dentures, carried out since the new contract began in April.

The DLA says financial rather than clinical concerns are driving decisions - to the detriment of patients.

But the government says the new contract was designed to cut unnecessary complex treatments.
