The dental deserts in the UK's rural and coastal towns. Recent research showed that 90% of NHS dental practices in England were not accepting new adult patients. The All Party Parliamentary Health and Social Care committee is now investigating this struggle people are having finding a dentist. The Government is to spend £700,000 training people in forestry in England , so (ministers say) 'we have enough people with the right skills to plan, plant and manage new woodlands.' Scientists have discovered types of potato which can fight off an attack from worm-like pests called potato cyst nematodes. As PCNs can reduce yields or even destroy a whole crop, that's a big deal. Presented by Charlotte Smith and produced by Beatrice Fenton.
