I think Ramrod's post on paperwork is quite telling. Even if fees can be more closely aligned between the two sectors the extra paperwork would be a deal breaker. You either employ someone to do it for you, or do it yourself, either way there is a cost iincurred affecting earnings.

I saw a TV report only a few days ago that the government was looking to change the payment system. It appears the Dental Council and Government are miles apart on the way forward. A large part of that is what they will pay for, which to the dentists is too much a drill and fill mentality, rather than a more professional modern preventative care.
