A WOMAN has complained to her MP later than her three-year-old daughter was rejected NHS dental treatment at the surgery where she had been registered as a patient.
Part-time book custodian Anne-Claude Roche, 33, of South Bourne, said she and her husband paid £30 to register with the perform in April 2004 and filled out a card for Josephine, then one.
But when the little girl fell over previous this month, actually harmful one of her front teeth, Mrs. Roche was told the Wootton Lodge perform in Boscombe could only treat her privately.
"She found the card that we had filled in a couple of years ago, but told me it didn't mean that my daughter had been registered," she said.
"I asked whether it would be possible to register her as a private patient and with no hesitation was told that it would cost me £52 for a check-up."
Mrs. Roche has taken the matter up with Bournemouth East MP Tobias Ellwood.
