Rejected petition Dental Nurses should receive NHS Pension

More details

Currently Dental Nurses in NHS practices are not eligible for an NHS pension scheme but dentists are, why?

Receptionists and office clerks, cooks and cleaners, along with medical staff at Doctors surgeries and Hospitals are eligible for an NHS pension so why aren't Dental Nurses allowed?

Please sign this petition to show you support Dental Nurses having the option to join the NHS pension scheme along with all the other medical staff. Given the new Government pension guidelines, now is the time to make a change and get what we deserve.
