00:00 We can see here in Bristol the queues around the block reflecting 14 years of
00:06 conservative failure on NHS dentistry that have left people priced out and
00:11 left behind and what's so deeply disappointing about what the government
00:15 have put forward today is yes they've copied the emergency package that Labour
00:20 proposed but they've neglected the fundamental argument Labour's been
00:24 making which is unless you reform the NHS dentistry contract and make NHS
00:29 dentistry pay for dentistry you're going to see more and more queues like this
00:35 across the country and after 14 years of conservative government I think they've
00:40 had enough chances that's why people need to back change and back a Labour
00:44 government because in week one of a Labour government I will have the
00:48 dentists in to negotiate that contract.
