MP fights to get dental care for part-time soldiers
Members of the Territorial Army should be guaranteed free access to army dentists, an MP has said.
Lindsay Hoyle, Labour MP for Chorley, said it was ‘odd’ that while reservists could be prevented from entering the battlefield if their oral health was not in good order, they did not, by right, enjoy the same access to army dentists as regular troops.
Currently only TA members on full-time reserve contracts and those on duty can take advantage of free dentistry in army barracks. When they are not mobilised, and are living and working as civilians, they are expected to look after their teeth without support.
