Liberals announce $33m dental plan

Liberal Leader Ted Baillieu launched the Liberal's dental policy at Bentleigh Community Health Centre today.
According to their Media Release, a Liberal Government will:
  • "Invest $30 million over four years to cut dental waiting lists by employing public sector dentists, dental hygienists and therapists, particularly in country areas where there is limited access to either public or private dentists.
  • Provide 10 additional dentistry scholarships at university. Students who accept the scholarships will be bonded to rural practice for five of their first eight years in the profession".
