Perhaps the consumer council could address this like they have with doctors fees?<BR/><BR/>I've just had 2 fillings + injection for around £120.00.

Would you go through all the training and work for half of that? Would you really want to sit in the chair and be worked on by someone who only charged half as much?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
