Age Editorial supports ADAVB message

Following ADAVB media releases regarding dental waiting times of up to five and a half years for public patients in some parts of the State, The Age today published an editorial article 'Time to tackle the decay in dental services'.

The Age opinion piece concludes as follows: "It is time to stop buck-passing and for federal and state governments both to play their part in providing a service capable of meeting public dental needs".

This editorial follows publication of two articles yesterday:
Dentists shortage means five-year waits; and
Three years to see a dentist.
