Growing shortage of NHS dentists

North West Today

Available for 28 days

With a growing shortage of NHS dentists, it's getting harder to get an appointment. We hear the experiences of Derry people and speak to a local dentist. Daithi MacGabhann returns home to a hero's welcome after receiving a long-awaited heart transplant in England. We hear from his dad Mairtin, who thanks the donor's family for saving his son's life. And the lead singer of chart-topping Irish band Kingfishr, Eddie Keogh, says he loves "the whole spirit" of Derry. He spoke to our reporter Keiron Tourish ahead of their sold-out gig in Ebrington Square.
