Rejected petition Make the GDC a Government funded organisation not funded by dental professionals
GDC regulates Dental Professionals in the UK, maintaining standards for the benefit of patients. It serves and protects the public and should be a government funded body. It does not serve the benefits of the dental professions that it forces mandatory registration to.
