32·7 days agoThe contract requires practices to agree to perform a set number of UDAs - and they are penalised if they come in below or above this. A check-up is worth one UDA while giving a patient a filling racks up three UDAs.
Rob told the Mirror: “We are being penalised for preventing patients requiring more UDAs. We have £150,000 ‘claw back’ this year but we have 19,000 NHS patients which is more than the practice has ever had. The clawback is for not doing enough UDAs but when patients are being looked after better they don’t have as much need for dental work.”
Capitalism rots literally everything.
Somehow, having good dental health and the NHS not needing to give money for filling is bad???Edit: Oh wait, I didn’t read that well. You are also penalised if you come above it! Holy shit, what?
oi m8 you got a loisence for them chompers?I know this is an inevitability of porky’s multi-decade long winning streak of the porks making gains in their own class interests. But this has to be cultural too, right?
Like anglosphere countries are more enthusiastic about sacrificing their quality of life for some uppercrust, and not to be a lib but this would be less plausible in Sweden, Japan, or France: all imperial core nations, and the latter has a lot of imperialist baggage just like Britain.
neoliberalism has rotted us to the core.
Hey they’re just trying to keep Br*tish culture alive!
It is The Daily Mirror, though.
The way we read an article like this, and the way the chud audience reads this is likely very different.
Chud reads this and goes: See? Socialism doesn’t work. Look what the government is punishing dentists for in the UK!
The Mirror is a tabloid rag but at least its one with a minor socdem vibe to it. the article is actually not at clickbait as it seems either
Death to
But at what cost
Break public services on purpose to drive people to private industry is a staple of conservative politics.
