Colac Herald highlights VOHA website

The Colac Herald ran a story about the VOHA website (www.voha.org) on Monday 18 September, headlined "Dental website adds bite".
The article noted that the website offered "public dental patients a new way to sink their teeth into the State Government about Colac's 32 month wait to see a dentist".
Member for Polwarth, Terry Mulder is also quoted in the article saying "I am particularly concerned for our elderly people who because of poor oral health may now require admittance to hospital for their dental treatjment because of infection risk. This is a disgraceful situation given that many of these people may have only required basic treatment if they had been able to access a dentist when required."
