Cuts to dental services in Hockley
White Hart Dental Care to lose NHS funding
Patients at a dental practice will have to move after its NHS funding was cut.
From March 2010, White Hart Dental Care will lose part of its funding.
In June 2008, owner Dr Luke Schnel was given a temporary NHS contract, which allowed him to employ two extra NHS dentists, Dr Beverley Scott and Dr Abdul Salim-Said.
The permanent contract from the NHS South East Essex has been awarded to a practice which has not yet been built in the village, but the trust says it will be ready by the summer, The new company is Harunani and Co. Group. Their website is

This means that although Dr Schnel will still be able to see his original patients under the NHS, the two new dentists will not.
All patients who have been at the practice for longer than 20 months, or who have seen Dr Schnel or Dr Anklert will still be able to have NHS treatment at White Hart as there is still funding for them.
Complaints should continue to be sent to Andrew.Pike@see-pct.nhs.uk
