Dental services 'at tipping point' as surgeries turn away new patients
MORE than four out of five NHS dentists in North Ayrshire are no longer accepting new adult patients for treatment on the health service.
I joined Newsquest in September 2018, initially working as a trainee reporter for the Helensburgh Advertiser. Having progressed to senior reporter, working on the Advertiser, Clydebank Post and Dumbarton & Vale of Leven Reporter, I moved across to the Ayrshire titles to become chief reporter for the Ardrossan & Saltcoats Herald in February 2022. I have an interest in any and all news and sport stories - feel free to get in touch using the details below.
