Closed Fund free dental care for university students

Closed on

The Government have the power to protect the health of university students by funding free dental care and treatment. Many university students live on a budget and some won't be able to afford the dental treatment, which isn't fair.

In September I joined a university and became a student and to my horror discovered I am no longer entitled to free dental care on the NHS. I don't see this as fair because students who are living on a budget within the university may not be able to afford dental treatment including treatment, yet they are able to go to the doctors and hospital free of charge. I would like to see students be treated equally with younger students and not have to pay for essential health services.
