Darlington's refugee dentists urge government 'let us help NHS'

Across the UK people have been hit by lengthy waiting lists, with some resorting to pulling out their own teeth as they struggle to find a dentist.

At the same time, skilled dentists are "sitting in their homes" desperate to help, but hindered by red tape.

The chair of a refugee charity described the situation as "ludicrous", as the government launched a plan to simplify the route into work for overseas dentists.
