This is my dentistry service. I have autism and would not be able to go anywhere. This is highly unacceptable taking these provisions from individuals in these towns that clearly have a demand for said service.

I'm signing because I have been a patient with this practice for 50 years and the staff are fantastic! Why close a busy practice like this? It doesnt make sense and is badly needed for the people of Shildon and surrounding areas as we cannot access any other dental practice in the local area. Please reconsider!

Julianne Alderson (Shildon, 2023-05-04)

We need more NHS dental practices not less. The people of Shildon do seem to get the short end of the stick in a lot of cases.

BUPA, let someone else take over the practice Unless you have something to hide?

Bupa are closing their dental practice in Shildon. Many people in the town have used this practice all of their lives. After the closure they will all be left with no dental facility and little to zero chance of finding another

I have attended this dentists from approximately 7 years old to now 58 years old and regularly attend to receive excellent treatment with Katherine, and the supporting staff. Bupa seem to not care about their employees losing their jobs, patients unable to get treatment. I have also heard that no one local are taking on any new nhs patients, and Bupa are not willing to sell the practice.

Paul Johnston (Shildon, 2023-05-04)

It is unfair that NHS dentistry could no longer be, we need this service for those less fortunate than others. Let’s not make the rich richer and the poor poorer, help those less fortunate by keeping this service.

This is my dentist and have been there years. Like many will struggle to find another taking on more patients. I don't want my Oral health to suffer. Please try and save this for the community. I've already heard people are pulling out their own teeth because they can't get an appointment. This is totally unacceptable.

Dorothy Johnston (Shildon, 2023-05-05)

#147

I’m signing because this practice is where I was planning on using when I move to Gainford in June. I’d heard here in the US that the dentist is an excellent practitioner and that closing this clinic will adversely impact the community at large.

Tim Malloy (Tomball, 2023-05-05)

Save our NHs dentist service.

Joe Pearce (Shildon, 2023-05-05)

#157

Both myself and my son have been going here for years and now we can't get NHS treatment anywhere else. If one branch is closing they should be relocating their patients to other local practices but apparently only if you go private.

Louise Young (Newton Aycliffe, 2023-05-05)

#158

We need another dentist in shildon and most people can’t afford to travel out of town

I used to nurse here on Saturdays when someone was needed. It’s so important that staff can keep providing the nhs dental care needed by the community. And that the town has access to their nhs dental care!
