General   (General discussion, talk about anything.)

GP's are contracted into the NHS to provide free NHS treatment, but if a person wants private treatment they can request it and pay the GP like it was before the NHS was founded in 1948.

The only GP'S at a Practice who are paid a salary by the NHS are those who are not a partner of a Practice and Locum Doctors who stand in for GP'S when they are on holiday etc.

Dental Practicies are Private and contracted out of NHS, but most give NHS treatment for which you have to fill in a form and pay one of three charges which the Dentist reclaims from the NHS, but like the GP's can on request be given private treatment and pay the charges of the Dentist.

Another difference of the contacting in or out are shownd by most GP Practices being in modern buildings like Health Centres, Clinics etc which are accessible by the disabled while most Dental Practices are in older properties which are not very accessible for the disabled.
