This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.

Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.

We understand that you're concerned about access to and affordability of dentistry to university students, but we're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do.

The same dental costs apply to university students as other NHS patients, and you can find out about these charges here: https://www.nhs.uk/nhs-services/dentists/dental-costs/how-much-will-i-pay-for-nhs-dental-treatment/
