1300SMILES Ltd Managing Director Dr. Daryl Holmes has
revealed that a solution to the public dental waiting list
crisis is being ignored by State politicians.
Responding to today's Townsville Bulletin report about the
public dental waiting list crisis, Dr Holmes revealed that he
has for years been lobbying State and Federal members with a
solution.
He said, "I believe dentists in private practice can make a
significant difference to this problem. I have offered to
allow public patients to be treated in our surgeries, where
there is available capacity, funded by Queensland Health. I
have written to and met with State and Federal members, and
Queensland Health Department public servants, but so far
nothing has happened. The Queensland Government has said that
no funding is available."
Dr Holmes said, "We will shortly have 22 practices in
Queensland, and we could put a serious dent into the problem,
which is State-wide, in a relatively short space of
time."
Dr Holmes also offered to personally examine the man whose
plight was highlighted by the Townsville Bulletin, Mr Cedric
Haycock, at no cost to him. He said, "I invite Mr Haycock to
contact me, and I also invite the State Government to
reconsider the proposals which I have put forward and to
contact me. A State election will not be far away, and I
expect that this will be a serious issue for both of the
major parties."
