Both personally and as a director of TDS I have advocated the outlawing of discretionary dental indemnity.
Whilst it is good to read the passing of the first reading of the Bill in the House of Commons on 5/3/25 to make dental indemnity an all insurance product, it is equally frightening to read the backstory to this Bill. Waiting to outlaw discretionary indemnity until a patient takes their own life is quite horrific.
