Why is it the million dollar question? Are you suggesting that only those working in the public sector are suitable to be a potential councillor?
What a foul, disgusting evasion which would have been worthy of Mr Cameron himself!. I am sure that Mr Cameron will be proud to welcome you into a political world of destruction of healthcare for those other than the super-rich or those who enjoy good health and can therefore receive private medical insurance. You know just as well as I do that an NHS dentist is someone who receives a fair salary , who comes from a generation which received his training for free (or at least a lot cheaper than elsewhere in the world) and who states himself first to be a dentist above all and who is proud to use the gifts God gave him for the benefit of his patients.
Stating yourself to be a Director first and then dentist second tells me all I need to know about you.
I have needed the services of the dentist and the dental hospitals a great deal more than most during my lifetime including very extensive surgery as a consequence of disability and not neglect. I earned a mediocre salary for most of my working life, largely due to disability, and at times suffered very severe health problems which have slowly destroyed virtually every tooth in my mouth and have an NHS dentist who has provided frequent compassionate care.
Had I been in the hands of a company director I suspect that you would have been very rich and I would be in continuous pain and penury.
I am sure that your constituents will receive the same treatment as your patients (assuming that they could afford to pay for treatment).
I feel certain that we can rely upon you to prioritise fighting for our parks as you have paid a lot more in taxes and rates than most of the population and that it is only just that you enjoy these local facilities as you approach retirement. Just make sure that you look the other way when you see the sick in need of care on the benches.
