Starmer handed petition to properly fund NHS dentistry signed by quarter of a million people

PRIME MINISTER Sir Keir Starmer has been handed a petition calling on him to properly fund NHS dentistry, signed by more than 250,000 people.
One of its organisers, the British Dental Association (BDA), warned that the service is now in a more fragile state than it was at the time of the July election.
Labour is yet to deliver on its pledges to provide 700,000 extra urgent dental appointments, and supervised brushing programmes in early years settings.
