Voice of the UK

Available for over a year

An investigation has found that children in parts of England can wait for up to 18 months for extractions and other treatments that require general anaesthetic. Nicky Campbell speaks to 5 live listeners and asks: why are so many children needing treatment in the first place? Too many sweets and sugary drinks? Not enough brushing, not enough education?
